PS3 On-Screen Keyboard - Code Released by Blipi for Developers

[GaryOPA]

Blipi, a Spanish developer over at DemonHades, and also helping with the JFW-DH project, has released today his open-source-code for a OSK (On-Screen Keyboard) which could be very useful for other 'homebrew' PS3 developers in producing apps that need more then just normal controller inputs!

Here is a short video demo produced by Blipi:

Well, I thought that maybe someone of interest. It is designed for programmers and a framework in C++.

This is an OSK (On-Screen Keyboard) for the development of homebrews. Since I did not get to show the PS3 by PSL1GHT OSK decided to make one. Thinking about thinking I decided that maybe someone else saw this, so I decided to share my work:

It is released under GNU GPL, under which you can freely use the code, but any modification is above code should be released or before uploading it to the repository or enviandomela to me for the climb.

Is still in development, so has a lot of functionality to be added yet.

I hope to serve you,
Blipi

Can be really cool if throught XMB or apps we can have easily a Japanese keyboard and switch for the English.
Unfortunatly, each keyboard is stick to the language setting on xmb, it s quite inconvenient on the web browser since not only me use my ps3 and need also sometime to use the keyboard and back to English.
Thanks you for the news.

Ok, watched the video... and I remenber the Squarepusher words about the non necessary of using everytime the psl1ght.
Anyway, good job and really good idea to have think about it.
Can we imagine the mod of the native virtual keyboard (swtich to others type without changing systeme language or the weird predictive text dictionary (and the way to delete)?

As long as someone keeps developing it, it is possible to do everything. Adding more languages would be a question of adding unicode charset (wchar on cpp) and reworking the way strings are handled. Not much work really.

But, as this is part of my project RNA and I do not need multi-lingual support for it, I'm not planning on adding it. As I said, it's GNU code, so anyone should be able to do it and share the work.

I'll just add a few more special characters and I'll be done with it. That's all I need and it should be more than enough for anyone who whishes to continue developing it.
