- Cross-Platform: Works on any device with a web browser, including Android and iOS devices.
How it works

- Scan the QR code with your phone.
- Your phone will become a virtual joystick, allowing you to control games on your computer.
- Invite friends to scan the QR code and join in on the fun.
Getting started
Recommendation: I suggest using the NPM registry or the development version for now, as the released versions have been found to occasionally experience minor issues.
Using the Release version
You can get the latest release version from the following URL: https://github.com/zenineasa/joycast/releases/latest
Using NPM registry
Assuming that you already have NodeJS's Package Manager (NPM) installed, open a terminal and perform the following:
- Install from the registry:
npm install -g joycast
- Launch the software using NPX-command.
npx joycast
Using the development version
Assuming that you already have NodeJS installed, open a terminal and perform the following:
- Clone this repository using the following command. Alternatively, you can download it from GitHub page as well.
git clone https://github.com/zenineasa/joycast.git
