# Spicetools DANCERUSH Pad Interface
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This little blob of javascript communicates with the websocket API of Spicetools
|
|
to both display the pad LEDs of DANCERUSH, as well as control the foot inputs
|
|
(with multitouch support). It is best used on a separate touchscreen laptop or
|
|
phone, to maximise your finger-dancing vibes.
|
|
|
|
A great deal of effort has gone into making the LEDs look realistic, mainly
|
|
regarding colours saturating to white.
|
|
|
|
It uses PixiJS for rendering, and a standard WebSocket for comms.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
When you open the .html (no webserver needed), you'll see the default light
|
|
pattern:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setup spicetools to expose the API on a specific port. I used port 9001 (which
|
|
will expose the "real" API on 9001, and the websocket API on 9002). This can be done via the commandline with the `-api 9001` flag, or via spicecfg.exe:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run the game, and the virtual pad should turn black as the connection is
|
|
established. From here, it should "just work". Click or touch the virtual pad to
|
|
send inputs to the game.
|
|
|
|
## Known bugs
|
|
Sometimes feet get stuck, which is much more common on devices with limited CPU
|
|
(such as phones). I never really investigated good ways to fix this. PRs
|
|
welcome.
