YOU’LL UNDERSTAND MY QUESTION !!!

So, i’ve just begun to use SDL and my problem is that i’m looking for an
esay way to know if a user pressed the arrows of the keyboard in my
switch/case of my main function !!
Like
switch(…)
case VK_LEFT:
break
case VK_DOWN:

… I know that it’s existing in DirextX but i want to know it with SDL
because i could do it under Linux and Windows… understand !!! :)))

And so how to move a draw on the screen by pressing without releasing
???

So thanks for those who first understand and those who reply !!!

Ciao

Try something like this:

switch(…) {
case SDLK_LEFT:
break;
case SDLK_DOWN:
/* blah blah blah */
}

For a complete list of the keysyms that SDL uses, RTFM. It’s in there
somewhere. Or else try looking at /usr/local/include/SDL/SDL_keysym.h
(assuming you installed SDL in /usr/local) if for some reason you don’t
have the manuals in your distribution or have no easy way of looking at
them on Sam’s site at devolution.–

I use a function that tell me if a key has been pressed, it should be easy
to modify it to accomplish to your needs. Take a look at

Go to download and download the last version, 0.2.4, I think.

I hope this help you.
