I've been on Facebook for a while, and like everyone else, I started playing scramble, a boggle like game. Well, I'm not very good, and got tired of getting beat. There must be an easier way !
In my professional life I support people using barcode scanners. Now, the scanners we use now usualy pretend to be a keyboard over usb. Older ones used serial communication and a piece of software called a 'wedge' to feed the input from the serial port to the keyboard, so I came up with the most complicated solution I could. Our desktop PC running Windoze and a serial to keyboard wedge. My Linux laptop would run a batch script and echo the results over a null modem cable to the Windows PC serial port where the text gets piped to the keyboard and plays the game.
