YDKJ controls using web server - need help

Post by perplexedape »

So I'm trying to setup a page on my web server that functions similar to the web app on the new You Don't Know Jack games. Only thing I am stuck on is putting a text box that outputs a payload to the emulate keyboard plugin.

So I figured it out
This text box
<form onsubmit="window.location = '?&' + search.value; return false;">
<input id="search" style="width:600px;" placeholder="" type="search" name="search"></input>
<input type="submit" value="Answer">
</form>

with {eg.event.payload[0]} in the emulate keyboard press works a treat

I posted a long time ago, javascript that forwards button presses to EG's web service. I also have a python web framework that sends forms and such via the requests module. Hit me up if you need any of these.
