CodeGuppy Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Hi, I'd like to build an arcade cabinet to allow kids / students that develop games on the codeguppy.com platform to run them (showcase them) on the big arcade cabinet. The big problem are the hardware controls: joystick and buttons. Do you have experience mapping these to an HTML5 game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmoondev Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 We have a PC running inside the arcade with http server and https://joytokey.net/en/ - so it's super easy to run any html5 game (just need to map the joystick to keyboard and make the game be playable with the keyboard easily).

b10b Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Sounds cool. Why not use the gamepad API? https://html5gamepad.com/for-developers Perhaps map this to your key input manager (if you have one) so that it runs optionally alongside keyboard inputs.
