Re: [Help-liquidwar6] Custom controller

[Andy Armstrong]

I dont want to have to edit anything
to do with Guile.

Surely at some point a C function is
called to update the position of the mouse..... cannot I call this directly
for a different cursor?

mmm, complex question. I guess I must look a little bit in the code to
find out what's currently implemented and what's only pure formal
interface, with no code behind. Basically, the idea of custom control is
to have a dedicated chunk of Guile code that tells if virtual
"up/down/left/..." keys are pressed or not. What this code does
is up to
you, there's still a need to actually feed Guile with the right values
(if
the controller is something specific not callable through Guile you're
stuck) but at least that's the "trap" I've planned to handle
weird input
devices.

Have a nice day,

Christian.
