Description : Graphical program used to map keyboard keys and mouse controls to a gamepad
>From project page
AntiMicro is a graphical program used to map keyboard keys and mouse controls to a gamepad. This program is useful for playing PC games using a gamepad that do not have any form of built-in gamepad support. However, you can use this program to control any desktop application with a gamepad; on Linux, this means that your system has to be running an X environment in order to run this program.
AntiMicro already has deb files created for Wheezy and Jessie. I have been maintaining deb packages for many releases and I have posted them on my personal website (http://ryochan7.com/projects/antimicro/). Some people have sent me emails asking me to look into getting the program included in Debian proper.
The dependencies for Wheezy and Jessie are slightly different since the Wheezy package depends on libsdl1.2-dev and the Jessie package depends on libsdl2-dev. The version packaged for Jessie uses features that require the use of SDL 2. The source packaging files can be found on GitHub.

I will also include the URLs for the amd64 deb files for Wheezy and Jessie if anyone would like to test the program.
