+# AnkiJoy
+
+This is a simple Python plugin I wrote for [Anki](http://ichi2.net/anki/) (the best
+[SRS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition) software ever) to enable Joystick and Gamepad support under Linux.
+It relies on [PyQt](http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/) which you already have installed if you run Anki, and
+[pygame](http://www.pygame.org/) for game controller support. It can likely be made to work with a little bit of
+tweaking on Windows and MacOS X systems, but I am not pursuing this at this time.
+
+With this plugin you can map any of the following actions to arbitrary buttons on your favorite game controller:
+
+*   Answer 1
+*   Answer 2
+*   Answer 3
+*   Answer 4
+*   Answer Default
+*   Answer Incorrect
+*   Bury Card
+*   Mark Card
+*   Repeat Audio
+*   Show Answer
+*   Suspend Card
+*   Undo
+
+If you wish to use this plugin simply download it from within the shared plugins menu in Anki or grab the latest
+revision of the code from [GitHub](http://github.com/FooSoft/ankijoy/).
