DS development > Keyboard support on DS touch screen

#166133 - Enu - Sat Jan 31, 2009 12:47 am

Hello,

Is there a library somewhere (or if it's part of libnds) where I can get keyboard functionality support similar to the one the DS provides on system setup? Maybe it's just an image and some functions someone has written, that would be good enough, if it were available.

Cheers,

Enu

The very newest Libnds has a clickable keyboard available.

Is there a source repository available for the newest version of libnds?

There is, however the current official libnds release has keyboard support.

There is an example under examples/nds/input

Next revision of libnds does fix a few bugs with the keyboard code and adds a few more examples. It is generally recomended to wait for the release than attempt to dev against the SVN repo as we tend to keep things a bit fluid (and not allways building / bug free).

Yes. libnds 1.3.x has one. But I still like the simple layout of headkazes keyboard

I have done an updated example using his code and gfx.
