SDL Library question

AllSystemGo · Post by **AllSystemGo** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 3:14 am

Can anyone tell me if there is some SDL event that we can trap. I'll explain what I would like to do exactly.

In my main loop I would like to be able to trap the events like when the joystick is moving so this way I would only paint the "mouse" pointer when they actually move the mouse.

I hope you guys understand.

BTW: I do know there is a SDL_Event but I think it's mainly used for computer programming I think.

BTW 2: I do have alot of problem with the darn SDL Library can anyone direct me toward maybe another library that I could use to show Icons, Text and be able to change to another ttf font.

Cheers

And the important bit:

Code: Select all

                while &#40; SDL_PollEvent&#40;&event&#41; &#41; &#123;
                        switch &#40;event.type&#41; &#123;
                            case SDL_JOYAXISMOTION&#58;
                                printf&#40;"Joystick %d axis %d value&#58; %d\n",
                                       event.jaxis.which,
                                       event.jaxis.axis,
                                       event.jaxis.value&#41;;
                                break;

You have to open the joystick first, read through the file I linked and you should pick it up.
