KeyboardProvider

Small and easy to integrate project allowing the use of your Mac's keyboard in your iOS apps.

Head to the Releases tab to download it.

KeyboardProvider is an app running OS X Snow Leopard and higher (10.6). It monitors your keyboard state and makes it available in the form of a local server. Watch the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFzxoBCgNdg.

Any app can connect to the server by providing by its IP and port, and a very simple C client (~60 lines) is provided for easy set-up. The only code you have to provide is the following:

#include "kbdclient.h"

void init_game() {
    kbdclient_init("127.0.0.1", 53841);
    ...
}

void do_frame() {
    if (kbdclient_held(KEY_LEFT))
        Some action...
}
