Yeah, very steep learning curve...

Maybe i should switch my project over to a typing program for p-sprint? That would help people :D

That would definitely be awesome ... That's on my to do list but I haven't gotten to it yet at all. It's scrambling for time for me until 1 november at least ...

I'm currently working on an application which would benefit from p-sprint, and I'm having a bit of trouble making things work correctly. I currently have a while(1) loop (great code design, eh?) that does all of the basic work that my application needs. However, just calling

Code: Select all

                p_spReadKey&#40;&myKey&#41;;
                if&#40;myKey.keychar!=0&#41;
                &#123;
                          pspDebugScreenPutChar&#40;50, 50, 0x0FF00FFF, myKey.keychar&#41;;
                &#125;

in my application seems to work extremely sporadically. I believe this is due to the fact that the rest of the contents of the loop take too long to execute (poor programming is to blame here...)

I was able to get it to work reliably at one point by looping the above code for a few iterations, but that takes away from the responsiveness of the rest of the program. What's the best way to use your code?

Thanks,
Jangie

PS: Forgot to specify that I'm using the most recent code as available from the first post in this thread. thanks!

Could I see the rest of the loop that you have this in? Out of the blue, I think you want to use the p_spReadKeyEx routine ... Also, just to be safe I would use >0 rather than !=0.

Thanks for this awesome input code Arwin.

Its been great for the telnet client I've been writing :)

Edit: the keyboard picture on your site has an error.

The X key appears to be 'Square Up', buts its actually 'Up Square'.

I just got around to testing your application. Nice :) Took me a while before I got a working MUD connection, but after a while I got one, although it was a beta. But it worked, and I like how you used p-sprint in it, works really well.

Another one ;)

the keys for 9 and 8 are the opposite of what it says in the picture.

P-sprint has now been ported to Lua:

People have been asking for a keyboard input for my URL2PSP app. Any idea on when you might have C libraries available, if ever?

I don't quite understand the question - c libraries have been available for a very long time! :) Just check the first post for a link to a rar with the includes and an example of how to use them.

OOPS. Sorry. Someone told me about p-sprint and I saw the last message about the lua and assumed that was what the other app was written in. My goof. I will check it out, thanks.

I can't believe it, but I"ve actually worked on this yesterday ... :D. In the dosbox thread, RyTracer made the following suggestion for a new layout:

I've made a beta release which implements this, which you can download here. It contains the test application as well as the p-sprint.c and p-sprint.h libraries that applications using p-sprint typically include. Everything should still be pretty much compatible, but this new layout is a lot easier to memorise.

http://www.niwra.nl/psp/p-sprint-c/p-sprint-c-070b.zip

(note: it still says 62/3a here and there, but I can't log-on to the ftp server at the moment to upload a version where I've edited that, so ignore this for the moment)

Thanks to RyTracer for the very good idea, it works really well - typing and memorising is surprisingly easy now. I think if I find the time I"ll try my gllighttext project and combine it with p-sprint to make some kind of fun typing trainer with scores and such. ;)

Should you have any input on the new layout, have any suggestions or other requests, just let me know!

I managed 9,5 words per minute in a small little test, which I then repeated on the PC where I got 101 words per minute (ten fingers, blind).

The keys on the PSP aren't as good as the ones on a regular keyboard so I don't think I can manage 50 words per minute on it, but that would theoretically be my maximum speed on this system- you only ever need to really press 2 buttons for every one character most of the time, and all the more complicated keys are compensated for by space and backspace (and return) being just one key.
