P-156: Update 15: Text Input
by PhoenixGames on Mar.23, 2015, under Software and Games, Software Engines
I have been working on adding basic text input to this project, and it is turning out to be surprisingly difficult.
I know that I can use glfwGetKey() to get a specific key, such as: if (glfwGetKey(window, GLFW_KEY_UP ) == GLFW_PRESS), however, I had some issues figuring out how to accept a text string from the user.
Eventually, I figured out that to capture a text string, I needed to use a keyboard callback, something like this:
static void KeyboardCallback(GLFWwindow* window, int key, int scancode, int action, int mods)
{if(action == GLFW_PRESS){
//This fires when ANY key is pressed
}
}
Text input is not fully working yet, but it is very close.
