A library of functions to set-up and use DirectInput. To use just include T3DLIB2.cpp/.h

There you will find:

// these store all input

extern UCHAR keyboard_state[256]; // contains KB state table

extern DIMOUSESTATE mouse_state; // contains state of mouse

extern DIJOYSTATE joy_state; // contains state of joystick

extern int joystick_found; // tracks if stick is plugged in

Methods

int DInput_Init();

init DirectInput system. Sets ptr lpdi to DI object.

int DInput_Shutdown ();

shuts downd the DI system & releases resources.

int DInput_Init_Keyboard(void);

init & acquire the KB

int DInput_Read_Keyboard(void);

read KB & place data in keyboard_state[]. You must use DIK_<KEY> to compare results.

Ex: if (keyboard_state[DIK_ESC]) // QUIT

void DInput_Release_Keyboard(void);

int DInput_Init_Mouse(void);

init & acquire the mouse

int DInput_Read_Mouse(void);

reads mouse & puts result in mouse_state. mouse_state.lX holds x loc, etc.

void DInput_Release_Mouse(void);

int DInput_Init_Joystick(int min_x=-256, int max_x=256,

int min_y=-256, int max_y=256, int dead_band = 10);

init & acquire the joystick

int DInput_Read_Joystick(void);

void DInput_Release_Joystick(void);
