## Custom keymap(only windows enable)
You can write your own script to map the PC keyboard keys to the touch and click of the mobile phone according to your needs. [Here](docs/按键映射说明.md) are the rules.
## Customized key mapping (Windows only)
You can write your own script to map keyboard and mouse actions to touches and clicks of the mobile phone according to your needs. [Here](docs/按键映射说明.md) are the rules.
By default, it has its own mapping script for key and mouse mapping of "Game for peace" mobile games. When enabled, you can use key and mouse to play "Game for peace" mobile games like PC games. You can also write mapping files of other games according to [writing rules](docs/按键映射说明.md). The default key mapping is as follows:
A script for "PUBG mobile" mapping is provided by default. Once enabled, you can play the game with your keyboard and mouse as the PC version. You can also write your own mapping files for other games according to [writing rules](docs/按键映射说明.md). The default key mapping is as follows:

The operation method of custom key mapping is as follows:
- Write a custom script and put it in the keymap directory
- Check the custom mapping option and select the custom mapping script before starting the service
- Enter the game scene after connecting the mobile phone
- Press the ~ key (left side of the number key 1) to switch to the game mapping mode to experience (what key to press depends on the switchkey defined by your key script)
- Press the ~ key again to switch to normal control mode
- To start the WASD control car, remember to set it to single rocker mode in vehicle settings.
Here is the instruction of adding new customized mapping files.
- Write a customized script and put it in the `keymap` directory
- Click `refresh script` to check whether it can be found
- Connect your phone, start service and click `apply`
- Start the game and press `~` key (left side of the number key 1) to switch to the mapping mode (It can be changed in the script as `switchkey`)
- Press the ~ key again to switch back to normal mode
- (For PUBG and similar games) If you want to drive cars with WASD, you need to check the `single rocker mode` in the game setting.

## Why develop QtScrcpy?
There are several reasons for this, and the proportions are arranged from large to small:
1. In the process of learning Qt, you need a project to combat
2. It has audio and video related skills and is very interested in audio and video.
3. It has Android development skills, it’s a bit rusty for a long time, you need to consolidate it.
4. Found scrcpy, decided to re-entamrate with the new technology stack (C++ + Qt + Opengl + ffmpeg)
There are several reasons listed as below according to importance (high to low).
1. In the process of learning Qt, I need a real project to try
2. I have some background skill about audio and video and I am interested at them
3. I have some Android development skills. But I have used it for a long time. I want to consolidate it.
4. I found scrcpy and decided to re-make it with the new technology stack (C++ + Qt + Opengl + ffmpeg)
## Build
Try to provide all the dependencies and make it easy to compile.
## How to build
All the dependencies are provided and it is easy to compile.
### PC client
1. Set up the Qt development environment on the target platform (Qt >= 5.9.7, vs >= 2015 (not support mingw))
1. Set up the Qt development environment on the target platform (Qt >= 5.9.7, vs >= 2015 (mingw not supported))
2. Clone the project
3. Open the project root directory all.pro with QtCreator
4. Compile and run
### Android (If you do not need to modify the requirements, you can use the built-in scrcpy-server directly)
### Android (If you do not have special requirements, you can directly use the built-in scrcpy-server.jar)
1. Set up an Android development environment on the target platform
2. Open server project in project root with Android Studio
3. The first time you open it, if you do not have the corresponding version of gradle, you will be prompted to find gradle, whether to upgrade gradle and create it. Select Cancel. After canceling, you will be prompted to select the location of the existing gradle. You can also cancel it (it will download automatically).
