Not printable char

[vladdeSV]

Could you provide the code you used?

[vladdeSV]

Also, please provide version (eg master, 1.2, 2.0-pre) and OS

[EmTee70]

yes, sure: 2.0-pre on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS in XFCE Terminal and
The error occured when placing the window.print() outside the loop in the function place_random.

import scone;
import std.random:uniform;
        enum width = 40;
        enum height = 20;
        int xpos = width/2;
        int ypos = height/2;
        int[height][width] mirror;
        
        void place_random(int num, wchar zeichen, Color fore_ground = Color.red, int value = 0){
                for(auto j=0;j<num; j++){
                   auto rx = uniform(0,width);
                   auto ry = uniform(0,height);
                   window.write(rx,ry,fg(fore_ground),bg(Color.black),zeichen);
                   mirror[rx][ry]=value;
                   window.print();
                 }
         }
void main()
{
        window.resize(width,height);
        window.clear();

        for(auto x=0; x<width;x++){
           for(auto y=0;y<height;y++){
              window.write(x,y,bg(Color.black)," ");
           }
        }
        window.print();
        place_random(100,'\u2660',fg(Color.red),10);
        place_random(400,'#',fg(Color.white_dark),-1000);
        place_random(100,'\u2663',fg(Color.yellow_dark),20);
}

I see you use wchar in your code, which sadly isn't supported by scone. (I decided this sometime long ago because wchar and the windows console did not go well together).

If you change from wchar to char, does that "fix" your problem?

[EmTee70]

ok, will try. How do I request if for example the 'r' key is pressed? My syntax seams to be wrong.
input.key == ??

[vladdeSV]

`input.key == SK.r` `SK` stands fo "scone key"

[EmTee70]

Now I realized window.getInputs() seams to return nothing?
Any idea?

[vladdeSV]

Could you test with master branch?

I have only tested this with Mac/Ubuntu GNOME, so it could be the input not working at all :(

[EmTee70]

Looks better!
Seams to work! Thank you!
Other question: Do you know how to speed up keys? I mean when holding a key pressed than it should repeat faster. something with xset -r ...

[vladdeSV]

Good to know! 2.0.0-pre.1 only handles a few macOS inputs. master supports almost all macOS/Ubuntu keys.

I'll close this issue, since the initial problem is resolved 😄

I do not believe repeat speed is something scone can set, as it is (I think) not handled by the terminal.
