Title: Is there a way to specify Keyboard Repeat Delay?
Post by: ichineko on November 25, 2012, 09:15:56 am

Nothing really jumped out at me, but I thought I'd make sure before I start implementing my own solution.

Or, somewhat related, does the event system allow me to generate events?  generate a key press that didn't actually happen, for example.  I didn't see anything that seemed promising, but I may as well make sure.

No and no. But you can use your own event abstraction in which you can push own events. This may also be useful to have callbacks. I implemented such an action system in Thor (tutorial (http://www.bromeon.ch/libraries/thor/v2.0/tutorial-actions.html), doc (http://www.bromeon.ch/libraries/thor/v2.0/doc/classthor_1_1_action_map.html)).

Alright, thanks.

I'm just working on a crappy little tetris clone, so I think I'll go the ghetto route and just implement a few flags, lol.  Thanks for the suggestion of the eventing system on top of SFML though, I may look into that once I start in on bigger things.
