DaisywheelJS

The Steam "Big Picture" Daisywheel ported to Javascript and CSS. Works with the Gamepad API, available in the latest modern browsers.

Note

This interface is something every game with text input needs. Not a single game should present a QWERTY keyboard to a user with a controller in their hands. I ported this so that the growing HTML5 gaming community can use it in their games as a standard library in the user interface toolkit.

cd daisywheeljs
npm install

//make some changes

gulp

Attributions

gamepad-mod.js interfaces with the browser API and organizes the data sent over in the controller's events. It was a modification of the gamepad.js library found in the example code for the HTML5Rocks gamepad tester, which can be found in its orginal form here
