SDL Event time information?

akuda · 2009-10-16T15:39:08

Hi, With 3 friends from my Uni we're trying to write an FPS in OpenGL. First we decided to use SDL for input, as the OS independence was desired. I was the one to implement the InputSystem. In FPS we need not only a chronology of input events, but also a precise information of relative time between the event had occurred and moment we picked it from the queue. Does SDL provide such information? I don't see the field in "SDL_Event" union. Furthermore, if SDL does not, do you know any other OSI libraries for OpenGL that support precise input? Regards and sorry for my English, akuda

Since you're basing your engine on Quake 3, you may want to check the source code for ioquake3 here, looking at the code on their SVN server, they replaced the native input code with SDL input code (here), you can get some hints at how to go about it from there.
