SDL Question

Quote:

Is it possible to get user input from SDL using the keyboard? Like a edit control box? I know we can use mouse input and write text to the screen but how can we get user input using SDL

For text entry in an SDL application, you would typically use SDL_PollEvent(). Most SDL applications will have an event processing loop somewhere in the main loop that consumes and dispatches any pending events, so in this case it would be a simple matter of dispatching 'key down' events to the appropriate module.

Here's an example of what your typical event processing loop will look like (C or C++):

SDL_Event event;while (SDL_PollEvent(&event)) {    // Event processing goes here...}

Is your underlying question "How can I build a string out of SDL keysym values"?
