So I've been working on porting some code from an application I've been working on to the DS. It's a C++ console app, so there shouldn't be too much trouble. The console creation works fine-really great, actually, I hadn't been sure if I would be able to use cin and cout, but it appears to work fine-but my partner-in-crime noticed a couple problems.
With the keyboard, when we hit the '=' key, it outputs a + instead.
When we fill the line, text wraps around fine but hitting "backspace" results in weird behavior-hitting "backspace" three or four times doesn't delete anything on the filled line, but typing afterwards prints it in the top right corner.

I'm only just starting to learn how to handle libnds, so I'm not sure if wither of these is intentional or not...Are there any known fixes for this problem? Both of them occur, not just in my own code, but in examples/nds/input/keyboard/keyboard_stdin/ too.

My source/, include/, Makefile (it has to use this makefile, I added a switch that makes the NDS-specific code get called into it), and compiled .nds are all at http://demosthenes2k8.endoftheinternet.org/OratrDS.zip
The code can also be downloaded from googlecode, project name Oratr.

the backspace handling seems broken to me in console.c:

Code: Select all

if(currentConsole->cursorX < 0)
{			
	if(currentConsole->cursorY > 0) 
	{	
		currentConsole->cursorX = currentConsole->windowX - 1; //what?? should be = windowX or windowX + consoleWidth -1 depending on what you want, but not this
		currentConsole->cursorY--;
	}
	else
	{
		currentConsole->cursorX = 0;
	}
}

the = + issue was fixed in svn 10 days ago

Alright, so both problems are known. That's good to know. Thank you!

EDIT: Alright, so I downloaded the new libnds update, and ran into a small problem. Using the exact same code, (and this still happens in both keyboard examples), when I type something it doesn't actually print it until I press enter/return.
