OpenGL / Glut Buttons and Keys
c++, glut, input, keyboard
Solution
`glut` divides key in keyboard by `glutSpecialFunc` w/c takes special keys such as F1,F2..., NUMPADS, etc. while `glutKeyboardFunc` takes all keys that can be represented by a character like the alphabets, numbers, ESC (27 in 'ASCII'), ENTER (32 in 'ASCII'), etc.
in summary, `glutKeyboardFunc` take `char` parameters that can be represented without using any '\' (backslash, like '\t', '\n') before any character the rest are handled by `glutSpecialFunc`
Problem
I'm self studying using the `Pearson, Computer Graphics with OpenGL`'s book. I'm currently trying to make a simple square move, but before I get ahead of myself I need to be sure I understand what keys are built into Glut. I'm aware of the following keys: - `GLUT_KEY_F1, GLUT_KEY_F2, ..., GLUT_KEY_F12` - F1 through F12 keys - `GLUT_KEY_PAGE_UP, GLUT_KEY_PAGE_DOWN` - Page Up and Page Down keys - `GLUT_KEY_HOME, GLUT_KEY_END` - Home and End keys - `GLUT_KEY_LEFT, GLUT_KEY_RIGHT, GLUT_KEY_UP, GLUT_KEY_DOWN` - Arrow keys - `GLUT_KEY_INSERT` - Insert key I either found them in my book or here on Stackoverflow in another post. But are there any more? eg, for all keys on a keyboard and mouse? Thanks.
