I saw that but I'm still confused. Can anyone provide an example?

The PSP buttons show up as joystick buttons. For SDL documentation on joysticks, see http://psp.jim.sh/sdl-doc/guideinput.html

My port of LPairs uses the D pad and buttons in SDL. If you want to check out the source, it's included with the release here.

Specifically, in pairs.c, in run_game, you'll see an example of using buttons to simulate a mouse click at a specific location. You could use it to do pretty much anything else, too.

The definitions for the keys I use (X_CROSS, X_SELECT, etc.) are in psp.h.

Porting an SDL game is an excellent way to familiarize yourself with the API. I knew nothing of SDL before I did LPairs, and I still managed to do rather well.

Thanks, but I think there's a password on the zip?

There shouldn't be. I don't put passwords on my release files. In case you can't get to it:
pairs.h
pairs.c
psp.h
psp.c

Also, I've got this for my init_sdl call:

Code: Select all

init_sdl&#40; SDL_INIT_VIDEO | SDL_INIT_TIMER | SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK&#41;;
