Keyboard and mouse input - suggestions and problems #2
I have downloaded your new version (Nov 10 2007 11:11:28 AM) but the clicking does not work at all for my 1.0.2 iphone.

Hmm, weird. Unfortunately I don't have access to an ipod/iphone with the 1.0.2 firmware, so it's hard to figure out what the problem is.sinaloe wrote:I have downloaded your new version (Nov 10 2007 11:11:28 AM) but the clicking does not work at all for my 1.0.2 iphone.
Next build I put out, I'll add some more debugging console output for input events (which means you can start scummvm via SSH instead of via the Springboard, and see what's happening).
Simply opening the menu isn't hard, that's just a matter of deciding on what input method to use (hold one finger and double-tap with another as mondocondo suggested, or shaking the whole device to trigger it via the accelerometer, or using some mouse gesturing stuff). Double-tap with the second finger would probably be the simplest. I'll see about implementing that tomorrow.alden wrote:save game support would be kick ass, is it hard to programm?
The stickiest part that remains is the keyboard input, but that's not strictly required for that many games (getting past the copy protection of MI is the biggest blocker due to that, I guess).

Hopefully I can use the inbuilt iPhone soft keyboard, but I haven't looked at that part at all yet. In either case it'll probably require some sort of activation (mouse gesture) to pull up though, our game engines don't have any way of telling the backends that keyboard input is desired.mondocondo wrote:on the text input, could you do it so that when a input is required it automatically triggers the keyboard?

No, scrolling this way doesn't work (as far as I can tell), just tap the empty part of the scrollbar - not the slider itself. Or try to hit the down-arrow a few times (but this one really is hard to hit).featurex wrote:Maybe i'm doing something wrong - double tap then scroll or tap, hold and tap with oder finger???rotane wrote:Scrolling is kinda difficult, but it is possible to do. You have to hit the bar to the right with the tip of your finger - but take into account that the mouse pointer is slightly off (a bit too much to the lower right).
thx for the help sofar

Scrolling is a bit tricky, yeah.
Basically, we can't do click-and-hold (which you'd need to actually drag the scrollbar down). If we had, every time you press the touchscreen it would register as a click (in other words, you could never move the mouse without clicking).
Oh, and for a quick update:
Still working on sound, gonna take a bit longer than I thought. Also, hoping to get ScummVM added to Installer.app tomorrow.
