What do you need constants for?Originally Posted by jasonf
In the documentation that's included with JEDI-SDL there's an example of reading input by using unicode.

Imagine I've written something clever here inspiring you to make something awesome. If that happens give me credits
The last time I looked into the examples, was about 4 or 5 years ago when JEDI-SDL was young and innocent. When I did the SFont conversion from C, many moons ago.
The input part of my engine is a fair few years old too, I never even though about looking at the examples for input.. If I was starting to put network code into the engine, I'd look at them.. but otherwise, How would I know to look there?...
I spent a while searching on the net for examples and I was running into dead ends and I needed to get it fixed quickly. Hence my half rabid spleen venting :LOL:
I know it works now, this thread exists on here in case anyone else runs in to a similar problem and I can help out...
You have to admit though, it's not very intuitive..
There should be a function
getAsciiForKeySym( Key: KeySym; Mod KModifier ): word;
that would have made more sense to me.. it would suggest that there was some underlying logic which I could farm out to SDL to get my char value.
That's my thinking anyway
