[Scummvm-devel] Virtual keyboard code from GSoC 2008

[Max Horn]

Hi folks,

on January 10, around rev 35813, Sev merged Stephen Kennedy's virtual  
keyboard code from GSoC 2008 into the repository. I just noticed that  
there was apparently never a mail about this to scummvm-devel, so I  
thought I better do that now.

Thing is, the code is currently disabled, simply because it is not  
completely finished and needs some attention. But it was sufficiently  
advanced that we didn't want to just let it rot there forever and go  
wasted.

What we really need now is to find some people who pick up the work  
and make it usable, and then convert at least 1-2 backends to make use  
proper of it. I guess the very first thing would be to determine what  
the exact status is, what needs to be done etc. To quote Eugene's  
commit mail:

Stuff to resolve:
- Circular dependency of common/vkeybd from graphics/
- Make it compilable (?)
- Add some keyboards
- Decide on the key bindings

Well, and maybe more. Anybody interested in working on this?


Bye,
Max
