Controlling HTML Without A Keyboard or Mouse

I posted the following on the Card Kingdom development blog.

Since the beginning of the Card Kingdom, we’ve been using XBox controllers as the main sources of input for the game. The controllers afford us preexisting control schemes, analog movement, and support for multiple players at once. What it does not support is a way to interact with HTML in a standard, keyboard and mouse way. To support this, I’ve been working on a UI Paneling System, written in jQuery, that does not rely on a keyboard or mouse for interaction, while still providing a robust framework on which a user interface can be built.

Awesome Awesomium Strings

Awesomium is a fantastic tool that I’ve been using for the past few months on the Card Kingdom project. I posted a brief description and reason for switching to use Awesomium here, so I won’t go too much into how awesome Awesomium is. It just is, trust me. One thing that is not so awesome about Awesomium is how they handle strings. To fix this, I wrote some utilities to make dealing with the Awesomium strings much easier.
