In Response To: Re: Jason Jones interview (M-Class)

Q. On the user event stuff, like the keyboard, do you use Toolbox calls or do you do some other mechanism to grab a keyboard event?

A. We use the Toolbox call GetKeys(). We do not read the state of the keyboard through the Event Manager.

Q. You use GetKeys() and then look at the low-memory global keymap array and pull the keystroke out of there. Now, can you tell us about the rendering engine?

A. The most difficult part of the rendering engine to write is, given a point in the world and the direction in which the user is looking, how do you find out what surfaces must be drawn and in what order they have to be drawn?
