who are you and where to find you

I'm Wei. I have a home on the open web and a work-in-progress blog. To find me in person you need to come to SingaporeCSS or RK, or occasionally at other meetups in town.

intro

This talk is about turning a Nintendo Switch's Joy-Con 🕹 into a clicker, which is non-trivial effort because you need to poll keypress events by yourself using the Gamepad API.

In this concise version of the talk, instead of technical details, I'll talk about what I learned by building this feature and toying with the gamepad API

  • overview / motivation of the project
  • polling key presses using a game loop

As I understand, this is marginally related with JAMstack. And if the stage is full I'm happy to give this talk in the following event.
