Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2003 07:48:40 +0200 From: "Mike Gorchak" Subject: SDL/QNX6 new patch Here in attachment my patch for the SDL/QNX6 again :) It contain non-crtitical/cosmetic fixes: 1. Fixed window centering at other than the first consoles. 2. Fixed window centering algorithm in case when window height or width are greater than the desktop resolution. 3. Fixed window positioning on other than the first consoles. 4. Fixed occasional input focus lost when switching to fullscreen. 5. Removed the Photon's default chroma color for the overlays, added RGB(12, 6, 12) color instead (very dark pink). 6. Added more checks to the YUV overlay code (fixed crashes during resolution mode switches). 7. Added support for Enter/Backspace keys in unicode mode (used by Maelstrom and by other games). 8. Fixed window restore/maximize function. It works, finally.

><P
>The <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>scancode</I
></TT
> field should generally be left alone, it is the hardware dependent scancode returned by the keyboard. The <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>sym</I
></TT
> field is extremely useful. It is the SDL-defined value of the key (see <A
HREF="sdlkey.html"
>SDL Key Syms</A
>. This field is very useful when you are checking for certain key presses, like so:

while(SDL_PollEvent(&#38;event)){
  switch(event.type){
    case SDL_KEYDOWN:
      if(event.key.keysym.sym==SDLK_LEFT)

<TT

>mod</I

> stores the current state of the keyboard modifiers as explained in <A
HREF="sdlgetmodstate.html"
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_GetModState</TT
></A
>. The <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>unicode</I
></TT
> is only used when UNICODE translation is enabled with <A
HREF="sdlenableunicode.html"
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_EnableUNICODE</TT
></A
>. If <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>unicode</I
></TT
> is non-zero then this a the UNICODE character corresponding to the keypress. If the high 9 bits of the character are 0, then this maps to the equivalent ASCII character:
<PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>char ch;
if ( (keysym.unicode &#38; 0xFF80) == 0 ) {
  ch = keysym.unicode &#38; 0x7F;
}
else {
  printf("An International Character.\n");
}</PRE
>
UNICODE translation does have a slight overhead so don't enable it unless its needed.</P
