Hi Winkleink,
Thanks for the hint. Indeed I heard/read somewhere that joysticks events
are working. But keyboard events somehow not.
I cut an pasted a bit from your code and came up with the testprogramm
below. If you run it, the joystick will trigger events, but the keyboard
doesn't
------------------------
import pygame, os, sys
from pygame import locals
os.environ['SDL_VIDEODRIVER'] = 'dummy'
pygame.init()
pygame.joystick.init()
try:
j = pygame.joystick.Joystick(0) # create a joystick instance
j.init() # init instance
print 'Enabled joystick: ' + j.get_name()
except pygame.error:
print 'no joystick found.'
while True:
for event in pygame.event.get():
print 'event detected'
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
sys.exit()
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
print 'key pressed'
if event.type == pygame.locals.JOYAXISMOTION: # Read Analog
Joystick Axis
print 'joystick moved'
---------------------------------------------

I use dummy in the following project and it worked.
There may be something other than that one line that needs to be sorted.

Hello all,
Maybe it has been asked before. But I only see older posts on this
topic. I'm hoping the situation has changed now.
I'm trying to make a game where there is no screen needed, but
physical actuators (motors, steppers, a beeper)
But without a screen defined, I cannot seem to get events to work
properly
In particular cannot use the keydown and keyup events. The events
don't seem to happen.
I read somewhere that I should use the dummy screen with
os.environ['SDL_VIDEODRIVER'] ='dummy'
But this also doesn't seem to help.
Is there a way to get the events functioning without a screen? If
so, how. If not, would that be an possible addition in a future
version?
Regards,
Bert
