Simply open the software on your computer, scan the QR code with your phone, and start playing games with your friends.\n\n![Joycast](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyb7KoHDFFLXplwFcMAqUlDTLzPDH-X4t67aNK8PoSffM6FKaOVfELrSId3KoDQ8ICm_mOGHQexnQB45QuyfD4vMGqXnmtfdZ8_n73ili6qazuCbx86PuFs62_6FU-MrwDmWIeiGOabdFrJDAHt49wYbFP6AEkhhKI25vqov4JdQsBUv-I43iDohHqJ28/s16000/joystickScreenshots.png)\n\n## Key Features:\n\n- **Multiplayer Support**: Multiple players can scan the QR code and join in on the fun, making it perfect for social events and casual gaming sessions.\n- **Easy Setup**: No need to install any additional software on your phone.

Invite friends to scan the QR code and join in on the fun.\n\n## Getting started\n\n*Recommendation*: I suggest using the NPM registry or the development version for now, as the released versions have been found to occasionally experience minor issues.\n\n### Using the Release version\n\nYou can get the latest release version from the following URL:\nhttps://github.com/zenineasa/joycast/releases/latest\n\n### Using NPM registry\n\nAssuming that you already have NodeJS's Package Manager (NPM) installed, open a terminal and perform the following:\n1. Install from the registry:\n    ```\n    npm install -g joycast\n    ```\n2. Launch the software using NPX-command.\n    ```\n    npx joycast\n    ```\n\n### Using the development version\n\nAssuming that you already have NodeJS installed, open a terminal and perform the following:\n1. Clone this repository using the following command. Alternatively, you can download it from GitHub page as well.\n    ```\n    git clone https://github.com/zenineasa/joycast.git\n    ```\n2. Move to the cloned repo directory and install all dependencies using the following command.\n    ```\n    cd joycast\n    npm install\n    ```\n3. Launch the software on your computer using the following command.\n    ```\n    npm start\n    ```\n\n\n#\n\nCopyright (c) 2024 Zenin Easa Panthakkalakath\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzenineasa%2Fjoycast","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fzenineasa%2Fjoycast","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzenineasa%2Fjoycast/lists"}
