This osk was made to be used with graphics.c and graphics.h
----------------------------------------------
how to use:
----------------------------------------------
to use this just place this:
#include "redskeys.h"
with your includes and this:
load_kb_images();
in your main function BEFORE your main loop (if you are using a loop)
you dont want it repeatedly reloading images.
next the call to the keyboard should be placed under a button press but
feel free to call it how you want here is the function's call
kb_input(mybuffer, 100, 60); //100 and 60 are x y co-ordinates.
this will open the buffer: "mybuffer" for editing and draw the keyboard
int the center of the screen, at the moment the keyboard only supports
typing in 46 chars so a target buffer longer then that will have un-used
blocks.
*a tip, if you open the keyboard and it glitches out the background..
adding another call to your menu draw function will help smooth it out.
for example:
Draw_Menu();
kb_input(mybuffer, 100, 60);

making your own keys?:
----------------------------------------------
name dimensions
----------------------------
kbkey1.png 30 x 30
kbkey2.png 30 x 30
kbrow.png 30 x 390
----------------------------------------------
don't use alpha image keys:
----------------------------------------------
alpha image's are only ok if the alpha is 100% tranclucent. tinted areas
will draw until they are a solid color and look like complete CRAP. since
the main ui bg isnt cleared each time the keyboard cycles, it draws its
own buffer screen buffer until it exits.
good luck
