I mean that if there would be an api avaliable for most popular languages it would make developing games easier and more people would be up for the challenge.
Viewing post in I would like to adapt the controller code for Game Maker
If you're still looking for a general-purpose API for talking to the board, and you've ever talked to a web service before, you might like the web adapter I just published: Buttons Are Cool Gateway Server
The server exposes the button board as a web service (HTTP GET and WebSockets). Most languages have good libraries for making web requests or talking to WebSockets.
Cheers!
