ooh there's some nice code for Linux in there! The Windows is
only half implemented though... but this combined with my
Windows code should get you enough example to write a
cross-platform thing if you need it.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate this! But I have a few
questions.
2) I can't figure out what the heck half of this code means.
It seems that at the bottom you have what each of the hotkey
buttons are, and I can see a few times where you referenced
them. I can also see a efw listeners for the keybinds to be
pressed, and then where you use the writeln command. Other
than that, I can't tell what's going on. I feel like a noob,
sorry that I don't understand this.
3) I'm sure that everything you have in there has a meaning,
but it looks over complicated to me. Shouldn't it look
something like this?
[code]
void main() {
import std.stdio;
import simpledisplay;
import *Others that need to be imported*;
if (*hotkey command here*) {
then writeln ("We're losing Alpha!")
return 0;
}
[/code]
I know there's a /LOT/ more to it than that, but wouldn't that
be the basics? I honestly don't know a whole lot about what
you did, but at least I understand the basic concept of
programming.
I'm going to start looking up a few tutorials on compiling
using the DM D compiler, let me know if you recommend a
different one.
Could you tell me which keys you used for the hotkey in your
sample code? I can't figure it out, but my guess it alt + c?
Not sure though.
Thanks again, I am really impressed with you for actually
writing the basic concept of it for me! I can diffidently use
this for my building block of learning how to program better!
Well hes basically giving us the core of what we need to create a
binding. Its like hes giving us a car engine and then we build
the rest of it around that.
Except im in the same boat, i cant figure out whats going on. Lol.
Also, the only difference i see with the
-L/SUSBSYSTEM:WINDOWS:5.0 switch is the the program runs with a
command line program in the background. Thats fine i guess.
Unless this does alot of other stuff in the background i dont
understand.
1) Which compiler should I use? I'm attempting to use the DM D
comiler, but afaik it doesn't have a GUI and I can't make any
sense of how to use it otherwise. I'll look up a tutorial on
it if this is the one you recommend. If it's not the one you
recommend, I'll give yours a try.
The compiler has no GUI. After you install dmd it is then linked
to your system so that you can use it anywhere. It runs as a
background program but you can only run it from another command
line. so Windows Key + R > cmd > click ok > navigate to the
directory where the source code files are with "cd" and "dir"
command line fucntions. Then type "dmd hotkey.d simpledisplay.d
color.d" and the compiler will spit out a hotkey.exe executable.
