User:Crond/sandbox/openglKeyboardExample

Written for CEGUI 0.7

---

Works with versions 0.7.x (obsolete)

Requires at least version
0.7.5

Introduction

This is a simple modification of the basic OpenGL application, as found here. The goal is to present the basics of keyboard processing, via OpenGL and PyCEGUI.

Requirements

• Python 2.6 (untested on Python 3.+)
• PyCEGUI
• PyOpenGL (GLU and GLUT, as well)

Notes

This example assumes you have the CEGUI resources located in the same directory as the script; change `PATH_RESOURCES` if they are elsewhere.

Demonstration

We can see that this works by running the application, and typing into the Editbox, as provided by the 'New Node' frame window.

Examination

'ord' function

The 'ord' function is a built-in Python function, which converts a single character (or a string of length one, if you prefer) to its Unicode/ASCII value; for further details, see the Python documentation here.
