Subject: SDL/OSX: Joystick; Better key handling
I just finished implementing improved keyhandling for OS X (in fact
the code should be easily ported to the "normal" MacOS part of SDL, I
just had no chance yet). Works like this:
First init the mapping table statically like before. Them, it queries
the OS for the "official" key table, then iterates over all 127
scancode and gets the associates ascii code. It ignores everythng
below 32 (has to, as it would lead to many problems if we did not...
e.g. both ESC and NUM LOCk produce an ascii code 27 on my keyboard),
and all stuff above 127 is mapped to SDLK_WORLD_* simply in the order
it is encountered.
In addition, caps lock is now working, too.
The code work flawless for me, but since I only have one keyboard, I
may have not encountered some serious problem... but I am pretty
confident that it is better than the old code in most cases.
The joystick driver works fine for me, too. I think it can be added
to CVS already. It would simply be helpful if more people would test
it. Hm, I wonder if Maelstrom or GLTron has Joystick support? That
would be a wonderful test application :)
I also took the liberty of modifying some text files like BUGS,
README.CVS, README.MacOSX (which now contains the OS X docs I long
promised)

This is the porting of 1.2.0 version of SDL (the latest stable one) to AmigaOS/68k. All the bugs known of the past version have been corrected. And I've added all the new SDL features. This version of SDL needs Cybergraphx V3 (r69+) or CyberGraphX V4 and AHI v3+. Probably it works also with P96 or CGXAga, but it's untested. This version is available as linked library for SAS/C and GCC, only 68k this time, a powerup (ppcemu compatible) and a morphos version will be ready quite soon (i hope). Implemented: - 8/16/24/32bit video modes, both fullscreen and windowed. - Hardware surfaces. - CGX blitting acceleration. - CGX colorkey blitting acceleration. - AHI audio (8/16 bit, with any audio format), always uses unit 0 for now. - Thread support (maybe not 100% compatible with other implementations) - Semaphores - Window resizing and backdrop windows (NEW) - Joystick/Joypad support. To do: - CDRom audio playing support - OpenGL (A guy was working on it but I've lost his tracks :( ) The SAS/C library is distributed with debug info attached, to strip debug info simply add STRIPDEBUG argument to the linker. NOTE: SDL includes debug output using kprintf, to disable it add to your project a function like this: void kprintf(char *a,...) { } Otherwise you can redirect the debug to a console window with sushi, sashimi or similar tools (the default output is the internal serial port). For info, support, bugfix and other feel free to mail me: Gabriele Greco (gabriele.greco@aruba.it) You can find also a small SDL Amiga page at: http://ggreco.interfree.it/sdl.html
