That is all very interesting! As for modplug -> libxmp maybe we can make a test build with libxmp and ask some users who use module music in their games to give it a listen-test On Sun, Aug 7, 2022 at 8:34 PM Ralph Versteegen ***@***.***> wrote: > I'm surprised to discover that the latest

I fired up testgame/inpiuttest.rpg and made an exhaustive search. The normal place where the numlock key would be has been replaced with a key that has a calculator icon on it. It does not send any scancode at all with my current keyboard mapping. NumLock is always on, and after testing every key

You were searching your keyboard but more likely you should have been searching the web for the numlock key; these things are well hidden ; ) On Mon, 8 Aug 2022 at 12:25, James Paige wrote: > There might be a NumLock key that I just failed to find. One of my wife's > pet names for me is

I'm surprised to discover that the latest SDL_mixer 2.6 release adds support for stb_vorbis, dr_mp3 and dr_flac and makes them the default (statically linked). These are very popular libraries because they're much smaller than the standard ones, so I'm very pleased with that, especially because

I didn't know there were keyboards like that. Lack of numlock is potentially a problem if you want to use it in a game. If numlock is on, then we treat numpad keys as distinct so they don't work like arrow keys. Which is better than being stuck off, I suppose. On Mon, 8 Aug 2022 at 00:14, James

For my computer it is stuck down at all times. I spent about 90 seconds searching my keyboard for a NumLock key before I gave up and changed the code Yeah, I think skipping caps lock and scrollock too is probably a good idea On Sat, Aug 6, 2022, 11:13 PM Ralph Versteegen via Ohrrpgce <

I decided to try taking libraries from steam-runtime (v1), which is based on Ubuntu 12.04 (it relies on some of the host's libraries, so using an old Ubuntu as base allows running on old linux distros up to 10 years old; linux_portability_check.py agrees) with libraries such as SDL that are
