Glut's capabilities...?

from memory the normal number keys can be checked using ''1'' and ''2'' etc, whereas numpad keys have special virtual key codes, something like VK_NUMPAD0 and VK_NUMPAD1 etc i think

arrow keys have codes VK_LEFT VK_RIGHT VK_UP and VK_DOWN

hope it helps

Hybrid, those sound like Windows virtual key codes (hence the VK_ prefix). Which is actually probably what you want to use, nagromo -- GLUT is pretty much the barest-bones solution to user input that they could write and still call it a solution. You don't even get key-up messages!

So, what you'll probably need to do is re-write your app to use the operating system's windowing API directly -- check out nehe.gamedev.net; they've got tutorials about everything from setting up your first OpenGL window to shadows and collision detection.

Edit: guess I was wrong about the key-up messages. But GLUT is still pretty bare-bones.
