Openpad - The Mobile Gaming Console app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: Jonathan Saferstein
First release : 14 Jan 2015
App size: 4.73 Mb
You belong to the PC Master race. You dont own a console, but all of your friends want to play a game using your computer. Your only option is to buy filthy, overpriced, plebeian game pads for your PC to play games.
UNTIL NOW...
With Openpad you can host a server which can connect to supported games, and will dynamically send your phone controls such as buttons, D-Pads, images, and even Joysticks. All you have to do is find a game that supports it, get the app, and connect to a server!
TEST NOW:
Download our Ultimate Pong App on our website, http://openpad.github.io/ and use Openpad to play.
SO... HOW DOES IT WORK?
On your computer, all you have to do is start an Openpad supported game, such as our Ultimate Pong. On the app side, all you and your friends have to do is enter a username, join a game, and play! Note: you must be on the same Wi-Fi network as the computer you are connecting to.
FUTURE PLANS:
1. Developers can implement our API for their own games, allowing users to use our app instead of buying a gamepad.
2. We are working on a generic PC Wrapper to allow allow users to play any game that uses a gamepad on our app.
3. We will continue to develop more games designed to utilise our platform to the fullest, such as Ultimate Pong found on our website. We are currently working on a racing game.
We also have many features that we will roll out for the app to add more functionality. Feel free to contact us at openpad.team@gmail.com for any suggestions, questions or interest in using our API.
