Overview
libosk (OnScreenKeyboard Library) for the wii
libosk is an easy to use, 100% configurable on screen keyboard for applications written using libwiisprite, written by beardface. Changing language, look and feel, etc... can all be accomplished simply by modifying a config file.
A demo application showing how to use libosk is included in the release.
Development Guide
Development libraries used
libmxml (included in release) libwiisprite libfat
Coding with libosk
Steps to using an OnScreenKeyboard in your application: In Header
#include "OnScreenKeyboard.h" #include "wiisprite.h"
Init fat, libwiisprite (GameWindow) and Wiimote
//... in main fatInitDefault(); wsp::GameWindow gwd; gwd.InitVideo(); WPAD_Init(); WPAD_SetDataFormat(WPAD_CHAN_0, WPAD_FMT_BTNS_ACC_IR);
Construct OnScreenKeyboard
OnScreenKeyboard* osk = new OnScreenKeyboard(&gwd, "/config/key_config.xml");
Make as many calls to the library as you'd like, getting a new string, or editting strings
char* ret_string = osk->GetString(); //Or edit your string ret_string = osk->EditString(ret_string);
Building your app that uses libosk
Include the following libraries when you link
-losk -lmxml -lwiisprite

Images: To change look and feel, simply change the images your keyboard config file (xml) references.
Font: Simply change the font file your app references, (Must be a bitmap font (see included font for example)), converted to png. (TIP, use alpha channel)
