A Flexx app that displays what buttons are currently pressed on a connected gamepad

Flexx Gamepad

A gamepad visualizer written in Python with Flexx and Pygame with assets from e7d's visualizer.

Most gamepad visualizers work by reading inputs directly from the browser. This comes with the requirement that the gamepad be connected to the same device you want the visualizer to display on.

The purpose of this project is to enable users to connect their gamepad to any device and display the visualizer on a separate device, as long as the two devices are accessible to each other.
