USAGE

  Mousepad permits keyboard and mouse control using a standard
  dance pad, or using anything with at least ten buttons that
  identifies itself as a joystick.

  After plugging in the joystick, run mousepad-config.
  This creates a joystick button mapping in your home directory,
  which mousepad reads on startup.

  Mousepad is modal: press the 'Start' button on the dance pad
  to switch between mouse and keyboard input modes.
  The default mode is mouse. Keyboard mode will always display
  a character mapping in the lower-right corner of the screen.

MOUSE CONTROLS

  Step on a directional arrow to apply acceleration in that direction.
  Releasing all arrows immediately stops the cursor.

  To left-click, jump on the left and right arrows at the same time.
  To right-click, jump on the up and down arrows at the same time.

  To look very silly, wildly flail your hands while you do this.

KEYBOARD CONTROLS

  (These controls are tedious to use and will be improved.)

  Each character is bound to an ordered pair of directions.
  Holding one foot on the first arrow and pressing the second
  arrow with the other foot causes a character to be omitted.

  For example, the character 'a' is written by placing your
  left foot on the left arrow of the pad, then placing your
  right foot on the top-left arrow.

  Because memorizing this mapping is irritating, keyboard mode
  always creates a window in the lower right-hand corner of
  the screen that displays mapping help. For example, pressing
  only the left arrow displays a chart showing all characters
  that can be generated by pressing left arrow first.
  It's pleasant to read, and easy to get used to.

HISTORY

  Mousepad is the first C program I've ever written, back in 2005,
  shortly after I discovered that Linux existed, soon after
  a good friend started bringing a foam dance pad to school.

  The initial commit of this repository reflects the code as it
  was in 2005 (except now GPLv3). It's not the prettiest code--it uses
  a busy loop and somehow manages to contain deadlock--but it was
  fun to use, even though my mother thought I was nuts.
  I even managed to get 6 wpm once. *fistpump*
