Topic: How could I read key, mouse input from a java third app ?

[EloiStree]

Maybe a solution for the project would be to read the input outside Unity to send them to Unity to generate the logic and the filter. And to send back the logic to the application for execution.

I am have some doubt about the transition delay with UDP event if it is on the same PC.

The questions are, if i decide to do that:

• [ ] can I do it with java to be multi-platform ?
• [ ] what library or official code would allow me to do that in java ?
• [ ] Does it exist a library that is doing that with the "permissive" license ?
