Hey eveyone, I have some questions:
1) How can I read what I type from the keyboard using Dark GDK?

2) How can I use the mouse to navigate in a 3D game made with Dark GDK?

I use Visual C++ 2008 Expres Edition (if it matters) and made a "game" (not finished yet, needs some adjustemnts), atualy is a space simulator and the mouse flight would be great

I'd like to answer ur 2nd question...
1. you should set some variables

+ Code Snippet

float g_fSpeed        = 0.8f;           // moving speed
float g_fOldCamAngleX = 0.0f;		// to store original x angle
float g_fOldCamAngleY = 0.0f;		// to store original y angle
float g_fCameraAngleX = 0.0f;		// to sotre new x angle
float g_fCameraAngleY = 0.0f;		// to store new y angle

and then make angle changes while moving ur mouse

+ Code Snippet

	//change the angle of camera by moving mouse
	g_fCameraAngleY = dbWrapValue ( g_fCameraAngleY + dbMouseMoveX ( ) * 0.3f);
	g_fCameraAngleX = dbWrapValue ( g_fCameraAngleX + dbMouseMoveY ( ) * 0.3f );

	dbYRotateCamera ( 0, dbCurveAngle ( g_fCameraAngleY, g_fOldCamAngleY, 24 ) );
	dbXRotateCamera ( 0, dbCurveAngle ( g_fCameraAngleX, g_fOldCamAngleX, 24 ) );

at last, you can click the mouse to control and move the camera...

+ Code Snippet

if (dbMouseClick()) { dbMoveCamera (0, g_fSpeed); }

that's all... try it~
