Loaded values save to keymap.

typedef std::map<EKeyMapAction, int> TKeyMap;

TKeyMap m_tKeyMap;


EKeyMapAction is action enumerator
int is SDL keyboard key index

enum EKeyMapAction
{
	K_GO_FORWARD=0,
	K_GO_BACKWARD,
	K_GO_UP,
	K_GO_DOWN,
	K_STRAFE_LEFT,
	K_STRAFE_RIGHT,
	K_LURCH_LEFT,
	K_LURCH_RIGHT,
	K_TURN_LEFT,
	K_TURN_RIGHT,
	K_TURN_UP,
	K_TURN_DOWN,
	K_NUM_ACTION
};


Called action is finding in keymap. The keymap return SDL key index.

///\brief Test if is key pressed
bool CKeyMap::IsKeyPressed(EKeyMapAction _eKey)
{
	return IsSdlKeyPressed(m_tKeyMap[_eKey]);
}


If keyboard key is pressed, action will be accomplish.

///\brief Check if key pressed
///\retval bool True if key pressed
bool IsSdlKeyPressed(const int _iSDLKey)
{
	if(m_puiKeys[_iSDLKey] == SDL_PRESSED)
	{
		return true;
	}
	else
	{
		return false;
	}
}


The variable m_puiKeys is pointer to Uint8

Uint8* m_puiKeys;


This pointer is initializing in class CKeyboard constructor.

CKeyboard() 
{
	m_puiKeys = SDL_GetKeyState(NULL);
}


Update keyboard key state array in each frame.

inline void CKeyboard::UpdateKeyboard()
{
	SDL_PumpEvents();
}



How we fill keymap?

We will need two slave maps.

typedef std::map<std::string, int> TStrIntMap;
typedef std::pair<std::string, int> TStrIntPair;
typedef std::map<std::string, EKeyMapAction> TStrActionMap;
typedef std::pair<std::string, EKeyMapAction> TStrActionPair;

TStrActionMap m_tActionTransferMap;
TStrIntMap m_tKeyTransferMap;


This slave maps we fill in class CKeyMapBuild constructor

CKeyMapBuild(CGameData *_pGameData)
{
	// Set global data
	m_pGameData = _pGameData;

	// Initialize key maps
	m_tActionTransferMap.insert(TStrActionPair(K_STR_GO_FORWARD, K_GO_FORWARD));

To the map
m_tActionTransferMap
we insert action string as map key and action enumerator as map value.

To the map

we insert keyboard string as map key and SDL keyboard index as map value.

Now we load values from file K3dEngine.lua . The tutorial, how load LUA konfiguration files find there.

The function LoadKeyMap() load values which sending to the function GenerateKeyMap(std::string _strKeyMap, std::string _strActionMap)

The function GenerateKeyMap() find map key from m_tActionTransferMap and map value from m_tKeyTransferMap. Map key and value insert to the final key map m_tKeyMap.

call function IsKeyPressed(EKeyMapAction _eKey) with action parameter.

If the function return true that keyboard key is pressed and some action GoForward(), GoBackward(), TurnLeft(), TurnRight() ... function will be accomplish.
