input doesnt work

[aloaf]

for some reason, with any binary, the game launches but i cant get past the "press any key to regain control" screen. its the same with allure of the stars.

Hi! Thank you for the report. Which binaries do you mean? Could you try some older versions? What's your OS? What's your SDL library version?

[Mikolaj]

One more thing: could you try not only keyboard, but also the mouse? Could you try a commandline option that starts the game not in the mode with "press any key to regain control"?

OS: linux
SDL version : 2.0.20
mouse doesnt work either
everything works fine when its run through the terminal, it seems like its the SDL window that doesnt take any inputs, including close.

Thank you.

I wonder what they broke again in SDL. I see SDL 2.0.20 is in Debian testing (https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libsdl2-2.0-0) and Ubuntu 22.04, so it should soon be available to ordinary users. I guess I won't be able to debug until then.

Any help is kindly welcome.

And it also seems that it can't compile with sdl2 2.0.20: haskell-game/sdl2#245

I merged some polling fix, please try with sdl2 master.

I've retried the windows CI (it uses sdl2 master branch) and it still doesn't build: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Mikolaj/lambdahack/build/job/mun11rbmig1cb575

I can't test if it builds on Linux and whether it works once built. @aloaf: can you?

[aloaf]

it builds, but now instead of not recognizing input at all, it completely stops responding after any input.

[Mikolaj]

Oh dear. Was that with version 2.5.3.2 of sdl2?
