Pandora How To Map Pandora Controls With Python ?

[Magic Sam]

Hi,

Do you know how to map Pandora's specific controls with Python ?

What are the correct key codes for start/alt, select/control, Pandora and AYBX buttons ?

Bye and thanks, Magic Sam

(I'm guessing you're using pygame)

Thanks sebt3

Here is how the imput code looks like now:

#translation tables
translations_default = {
    KEYDOWN: {
        K_UP: UP,
        K_DOWN: DOWN,
        K_LEFT: LEFT,
        K_RIGHT: RIGHT,
        K_RETURN: PRESS,
	SDLK_END: PRESS, # B button on Pandora
       #K_SPACE: PRESS,
        K_KP8: UP,
        K_KP2: DOWN,
        K_KP4: LEFT,
        K_KP6: RIGHT,
        K_KP5: DOWN,
	SDLK_ALT: ABORT, # Start button on Pandora
       #K_ESCAPE: ABORT,
        K_DELETE: ABORT,
        K_BREAK: ABORT,
        #vi keys
        K_h: LEFT,
        K_j: DOWN,
        K_k: UP,
        K_l: RIGHT,
    },

When I start the game I have the following error message:

<type 'exceptions.NameError'>:
name 'SDLK_END' is not defined

What am I doing wrong ?

Bye and thanks for your help, Magic Sam

And if not using SDL/pygame or the like, you could hit /dev/evdev or other interfaces yourself. libpnd includes a nice simple little API for working with evdev as well, and I think pndstore already exposes a wrapped pythonic version of libpnd so might get you access to the libpnd API without any work yourself.

It's not SDLK_END, you want K_END for B, and K_LALT (or maybe K_RALT?) for Start. Take a look at my modifications to BubbMan 2 to see buttons in action.

Also, PNDstore doesn't expose all of libpnd, only the parts that it needs (and it's not even Pythonic ). But the wrapper it uses is pretty trivial to extend to cover other libpnd functions.
