TerraToys
Read full descriptionHide full description
TerraToys is my personal collection of tools I have been using in the past for my own projects. I use the gamepad actions myself frequently in Shortcuts I use myself to run from my game launcher StarterSeeds, eg. to have a specific shortcut set up my device in a specific way wether any gamepad is connected or which exact one is connected. I've seen nobody else expose this to Shortcuts before so I figured I'll make it public! Also includes other tools I use myself of course. Unfinished things have been stripped out for now and will be added in the future. Have fun!
