Version 0.1 Features

  • Connect Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons to your PC and play PC games by exercising.
  • Exercise Bike Mode implemented
    • After Selecting this mode whenever you pedal on your Bike the app will input the “W” Key
  • Treadmill Mode implemented
    • After selecting this mode whenever you walk around or on a treadmill the app will input the “W” Key
  • Right Joy-con (Joy-con the User holds) joystick activates WASD while the Left Joy-Con (Joy-con strapped to the User’s leg) joystick activates the D-pad/Arrow-keys
  • Increase the intensity of your workout with Exercise LVLs! The higher the level the faster you have to walk or bike to keep your character moving in-game. The lower the level the slower you can be for the app to detect your exercising.
  • If the game supports it, another controller can be plugged in all in-game functions can be used like normal.

Future Version Wishlist

  • Add a single joy-con mode allowing users just have the leg strap to use the app
  • Add functionality to the other buttons for the joy-cons!
  • Add Xbox controller emulation. The idea is to support games that only take in 1 controller inputs so the User can use the joy-cons and another controller at the same.
  • Add input customization where Users can activate any keyboard/button input they want by exercising.
  • Update and clean out the UI for better useability
  • Add a boxing mode that let’s Users play by literally throwing hands
  • Add a method for this to connect to consoles
  • Fix bugs
