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 ;)

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? :)

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
