This is a 3D model of a keyboard (specifically a 60% layout).

All non-modifier keys are able to be pressed/released by their corresponding key input.

As glutGetModifiers() can only be called when a callback is generated, mapping modifier keys (SHIFT, CTRL, ALT) to actual inputs is a bit tricky. Instead, I've given SHIFT/CTRL/ALT alternate features to modify the scene.

• Pressing SHIFT + any key will toggle key lighting

• Pressing ALT + any key will toggle a backlight for the keys.

• Pressing CTRL + any key will toggle labels for the keys.

• CAPSLOCK, while being a modifier key, does not have functionality. According to the documentation for glutGetModifers(), while CAPSLOCK is enabled, GLUT_ACTIVE_SHIFT (the modifier key state when SHIFT is pressed) should be returned. However, CAPSLOCK does not appear to be returning this modifier state on my machine.

GETTING THIS TO WORK

I do not include all the files needed to run this program.

A visual studio solution with all needed additional files can be found here:

http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~mjb/cs450/Sample2019.zip

Copy all of the files in this repo into the SampleFreeGlut2019 folder.

glslprogram.cpp will needed to be added as a source file in VS (Right click 'Source Files' -> Add -> Existing Item)
