Detailed Description

NDS button and touchscreen input support.

The state of the keypad must be read from hardware into memory using scanKeys() whenever you want an updated input state. After reading, call one of the associated "keys" functions to see what event was triggered. These events are computed as the difference between the current and previous key state you read. It's generally a good idea to scan keys frequently to ensure your application's input system is responsive.

After reading the key state, you will be given an integer representing which keys are in the requested state. To mask of specific buttons, use the key masks described in nds/input.h .

Function Documentation

◆ keysCurrent()

uint32_t keysCurrent ( void )

Obtains the current keypad state.

Call this function to get keypad state without affecting state of other key functions (keysUp keysHeld etc...).

Returns: Bitmask of keys that are pressed.

◆ keysDown()

uint32_t keysDown ( void )

Obtains the keys that have been pressed right now.

Returns: Bitmask of keys that have just been pressed.

◆ keysDownRepeat()

uint32_t keysDownRepeat ( void )

Obtains the keys that have been pressed right now (or repeated press).

Returns: Bitmask of keys that have just been pressed or have been held for long enough to repeat the press.

◆ keysHeld()

uint32_t keysHeld ( void )

Obtains the current keypad held state.

Returns: Bitmask of keys that are pressed.

◆ keysSetRepeat()

void keysSetRepeat	(	u8	setDelay,
		u8	setRepeat
	)

Sets the key repeat parameters.

Parameters

setDelay	Number of scanKeys calls before keys start to repeat.
setRepeat	Number of scanKeys calls before keys repeat.

◆ keysUp()

uint32_t keysUp ( void )

Obtains the keys that have just been released.

Returns: Bitmask of keys that have just been released.

◆ scanKeys()

void scanKeys ( void )
