Hi all you leet programmers
, I''m using Kylix for Linux right now, and I was using Delphi for Windoze, but Linux kicks Windoze butt!! (btw, yes, I know I should be using C, but I''m not a real big fan of case sensitive languages, I prefer my own way of printing out a function name
lol), anyway, I''ve been writing a game engine for windows, and now porting it over to linux (which has been pretty easy since I was using opengl, and some basic timing functions, which were easy to port using Libc), and it''s pretty powerful so far for a 2D game engine, anyhoo, down to the question: I have been using DirectInput for Windows, and was wondering if there was a way to directly access input (keyboard, mouse, +more?) in Linux. Right now I''m relying on X events, which isn''t so bad, so if there''s not a good enough way then I''ll just stick with the events. And please, no SDL suggestions, I am working directly with X and such, and I like to work directly with the os.. thanks!
