JavaScript Joystick Plug-in

A free browser plug-in to enable JavaScript to access joysticks and gamepads (this ability can be the passed onto other browser plug-ins). This release is currently only available for Windows as an ActiveX control (28k, self-installing, tested with 95, 98, 2k, XP and Vista) or Netscape 4 plug-in (9k, only tested with 4.7 - will not work with 6 or any Mozilla based browser).

Stop press! A test version for Win32 Firefox/Opera/Safari is available to download. The API is the same as the IE version, and the embed type is "application/x-vnd.numfum-joystick". An example file shows how to embed both versions into a page. More updates soon!

The project is in the process of moving to Google Code. Source to the Windows versions is already available and the Mac version will follow shortly.

Examples:
 Simple examples (JavaScript, Java, Flash/LiveMotion and Director).
 Manic Miner (JavaScript)
 Super Web Soccer (External link, Java web-based game).
