Hello everyone!

Today I'm showing you my first 3DS Project, the HBKB (HomeBrew KeyBoard) Library.
This Library is written in C++ and is intended for pretty much every Program designed around Keyboards, like Web Browsers and File Explorers.

The Keyboard looks like this:

If you include this Library in your Project, you'll be able to use the Keyboard with these 3 simple functions:
HBKB_CallKeyboard(touchPosition touch); = Call Keyboard (Write Graphics, check User Touch Position)
HBKB_CheckKeyboardInput() = Returns a std::string with the Input made by the User
HBKB_Clean() = Reset Keyboard

You can find more in the ReadMe File. Also included is a little Demo Program which shows how to use the Library. This .zip includes the Library Source Code, as well as the Demo Source Code.
I hope you find this Release helpful!

Compilation:
In case you don't have your DevkitPro installed in /usr/local/, you need to comment that out in the Makefile. The First 2 Lines, to be exactly.

Also, you can find a already compiled Version of the Library in the Source for the Demo Application, in case you get issues with compilation. The Library is in the "hbkb" Folder in the Demo Source.

##
# UPDATE
##

I updated the Library to Version 1.0.4.
This Update fixes an Issue with Key Spamming and Input Accuracy. Sorry if you had issues with it.

I wanted to add a little something for users that are trying to compile the library on windwos.
1. comment out the first 2 lines in the make file if your ctrulib is installed in the default location.
2. In the download rename, the folder "Library Source" to just "Library".
After that the library should compile.

Glad to see you guys like it :)
And thanks Helreizer543, I forgot to remove that from the Makefile, I'll update the OP. There is a compiled version of the Library included in the Source for the Demo Application, in case someone wants to skip the Compilation or has issues with it.

Simple, easy and clean. I like it. I especially like that it doesn't waste any space on the bottom screen, but is made to maximize the size of the buttons to make them easier to press.
If/when I get a good idea and decide to make a 3DS homebrew, I'll be sure to use this. Which may never happen, but you never know :P

Sorry for bumping this thread, but is there a command similar to "scanf"? It would help a lot when making apps with a lot of usage of the keyboard ;)

It would be nice if someone could implement the HBKBLib, with this keyboard layout and give me a report. :)

Yep it works, and looks pretty good :)
How do we get the X and Tick to not exit the homebrew and instead have the tick act like enter and the X act like... umm i don't know, something else lol?

Thanks! :D
E.g. change the x-function to an enter-function, place the "Enter"-Button on the right and the left button exit the homebrew.
[__exit__] & [__enter__] button? :)

    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "OK Cortana I want that mountain a little taller and more snow on top, and I would like some random ancient pine forest around the bottom"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "Now we need a spring fed river flowing down the north side and add some wild life appropriate for the biome"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
