From 713018cae15ef4b70c4c8a26ab7d3fd7739e50c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: cutealien Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2022 20:59:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Minor update for example 19.MouseAndJoystick. Don't move the mouse anymore when the mouse hasn't moved. This was sometimes confusing because events are only caught inside the window (at least on Windows), which lead to the node moving seemingly randomly when the mouse was outside. Also added a few more comments to mention CursorControl as an alternative. git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/irrlicht/code/trunk@6308 dfc29bdd-3216-0410-991c-e03cc46cb475 --- examples/19.MouseAndJoystick/main.cpp | 60 ++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 44 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/examples/19.MouseAndJoystick/main.cpp b/examples/19.MouseAndJoystick/main.cpp index faa63057..236cbbc0 100644 --- a/examples/19.MouseAndJoystick/main.cpp +++ b/examples/19.MouseAndJoystick/main.cpp @@ -3,13 +3,11 @@ This tutorial builds on example 04.Movement which showed how to handle keyboard events in Irrlicht.
