Windows Adaption by Stefan Stenzel

DS Port by Headspin (headkaze [at] gmail.com)

I would like to personally thank Stefan Stenzel for his most gratious generosity and kindness with providing the source, as well as taking much time to reply to my nurmerous and annoying e-mail's and nagging.

Although there is no NDSLib example, you can just copy over the keyboard files in the previous one.

This adds some extra keys to the previous example.

- Better touch-screen processing.
- Changed jump detection from a "distance check" to a "Z register is not zero" check.
- Added key hi-light to make it easer to identify typing mistakes.
- Added keyboard "click" audio feedback.
- Shift key now works like in Pictochat (activates shift for next keypress only).

Changed keyboard to have indented keys.

- Fixed hi-light bug
- Moved keyboard source into separate file
- Updated for new libnds
- Fixed some more bugs
- Nicer keyboard function (uses your own string at a length you specify)
- Backspace now works over multiple lines (bloody escape sequences!)
- Added echo on/off to console

A few people were put off using my keyboards because of the shading, the latest keyboard example simplifies the look so it will suit a broader variety of apps.

- Source is now in one file (plus header) to make integration easier.
- No more use of lcdSwap() function as it messes up on some carts. I was obviously being lazy before, now the keyboard is drawn to the sub screen like it should.
- Cleaned up the code a bit.
- Keyboard is now at the bottom of the screen, so it's easier to use (apparently).
- Removed my custom pen jump checking code, since libnds takes care of most of this these days and is always being improved.
- Added back my pen jump checking code. It seems to work better on h/w, although it doesn't work as well in Dualis.
- You can comment out the line #define USE_CUSTOM_PEN_JUMP_DETECTION_CODE 1 to remove the custom pen jump detection code.
- Updated source using latest LibNDS template.

NOTE: If you liked the old beveled blue keyboard style as in Example 4, then you can download the tile binaries for it here. Just copy the files over the old ones in the data directory.

This is a cut-down version of the Extended Keyboard 5 with the ESC, Function Keys and X key removed.

You can download the beveled blue graphics here. Copy them over the files in the data directory.
