IT'S ALIVE! reading seperate input from multiple mice plugged into one PC v0.30

[madscijr]

Latest version and multi-mouse Pong game at:
https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2836

Update: latest newer code can be found here

Yes, it IS possible to read seperate input from two or more USB mice plugged into your PC from your BASIC programs running on Windows!

So far, I have tested it with 5 mice plugged in simultaneously and no issues. I have some more mice laying around somewhere, will test with more when I locate them!

You need 2 programs for this, below.
Also place the files "makeint.h" and "winproc.h" in the same folder.
Compile the 2nd subprogram before running the main program.
(It won't run on its own but that's OK.)

Plug 2-8 USB mice into your PC. (You may need a USB hub for more ports!)

Run "ReadMiceMain" and if your PC prompts for permission say yes.
The main program will automatically open the subprogram which should have the focus.

NOTE: Make sure the subprogram has the focus - clicking the mouse button will shift focus to the main prog and the sub program won't be able to read mice - if that happens, click back on ReadMiceSub.

Try moving the different mice around.

When you quit be sure to close both programs.

It works a lot better with DSMan195276's network piece (no more messy temp files).
(Maybe Spriggsy's Pipecom will work better than using network?)

Still need to do and/or figure out 

• Capturing mouse clicks and keyboard input (from ReadMiceSub, send to main)
  
• Making ReadMiceSub window invisible (but keep focus on mouse clicks) 
  and hiding the mouse pointer.
  (Steffan-68 shared some code that may help with that, haven't gotten to looking at it yet.)
  
• Line up the windows or else maximize ReadMiceSub so it captures mouse movement across entire screen
  
• Capturing input in full screen mode???
  
• Automatically kill ReadMouseSub when user closes main program.
  

Feel free to play around and make any improvements or share feedback!

Use it to make your own Pong Doubles, QuadraPong, OctoPong, 8-player Foosball Pong, Warlords, Spacewar!, Space Duel, multiplayer Tempest, cooperative puzzle solving or drawing game, weird multi-mouse musical instrument, or 8-player Duck Hunt games! Use the mice to make simple racing wheel controllers (see pics below, that thing works!) and create your own Super Sprint 8 racing game. The possibilities are endless, LoL.

' ABOUT
' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Working proof of concept! (Windows only so far)
'
' 1. Plug 2-8 USB mice into your PC.
'
' 2. Place "makeint.h" and "winproc.h" in same folder as programs.
'
' 3. Compile the mouse reader program "ReadMiceSub.bas" first
'    (or run it once and exit).
'
' 4. Run the front end program "ReadMiceMain".
'    The main program will automatically start the subprogram "ReadMiceSub"
'    which should have the focus. If your PC prompts for permission say Yes.
'
' 5. Make sure the "ReadMiceSub" has the focus - currently, clicking the mouse
'    buttons will shift focus "ReadMiceMain" and "ReadMiceSub" won't be able
'    to read mice - if that happens, click back on "ReadMiceSub".
'
' 6. Try moving each mouse. Each one should move a different letter.
'
' 7. When quitting be sure to close both programs.

' To enable debugging output: change Const cDebugEnabled to TRUE
' It will output debugging info to the console.

' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' TO DO
' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Some issues and things to fix:
' * Make the "ReadMiceSub" window invisible (but still have the focus to detect mice)
'   and get "ReadMiceSub" to receive clicking the mouse button (left, middle, right)
'   without losing focus (currently clicking the mouse changes focus to "ReadMiceMain"
'   and then "ReadMiceSub" can't read mice). Steffan-68 posted some code that might help.
' * Read keypresses and send those as well
'   ("ReadMiceSub" has focus so "ReadMiceMain" can't detect keypresses)
' * Hide the real mouse cursor and reactivate it when program closes
' * control the window of "ReadMiceSub" to match "ReadMiceMain" window size and position directly over it.
' * when "ReadMiceMain" quits, have it kill the "ReadMiceSub" subprogram.
' * detect moving the scroll wheel
' * get this working with _FullScreen _SquarePixels
' * figure out how to get the same functionality for Mac & Linux

' THANK YOU
' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Much credit and thanks are due to:
' * jstookey who started the work that made this possible
' * SpriggsySpriggs who ported the hard stuff (APIs, events) to QB64 & QB64PE
' * SMcNeill who helped with so many things, most recently keeping the main window on top, getting file attributes
' * Steffan-68 for feedback, code for managing windows and ideas
' * DSMan195276 for the network code that lets the reader and main program talk smoothly
' * euklides, Ed Davis, mdijkens for file attributes code
' * grymmjack for words of encouragement
' * the QB64 and QB64PE communities for help with everything
' * (if I forgot anyone let me know!)

' CHANGES
' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' DATE        WHO        WHAT
' 2004-04-22  jstookey   added the ability to detect whether RawMouse is
'                        available or not so the application can either use a
'                        different multi-mouse system, or exit gracefully
'                        (thanks to Mark Healey).
' 2005-04-24  jstookey   Modified the code work with the latest version of
'                        MinGW. The new MinGW incorporates rawinput, so my
'                        winuser header and library is obsolete.
' 2006-03-05  jstookey   Initialized is_absolute and is_virtual_desktop to
'                        work better with newer versions of VStudio.
'                        Code at: https://jstookey.com/multiple-mice-raw-input/
' 2022-09-07  madscijr   Turned into a command line EXE that is called from
'                        QB64 with SpriggsySpriggs' pipecom from
'                        https://github.com/SpriggsySpriggs/Spriggsys-API-Collection/blob/master/Cross-Platform%20(Windows%2C%20Macintosh%2C%20Linux)/pipecomqb64.bas
'                        This version doesn't work.
' 2022-09-08  Spriggsy   Converted C to pure QB64 code.
' 2022-09-09  madscijr   Added demo code to move multiple objects on screen
'                        with separate mice independently.
' 2022-09-09  Spriggsy   Added a screen refresh.
' 2022-09-10  madscijr   Added detecting mouse buttons.
' 2024-05-19  madscijr   Try having the program write mice coordinates / button
'                        states to a file that main program "always on top"
'                        without focus can read.
' 2024-05-23  madscijr   Updated program to get mice coordinates via network calls
'                        Thanks to DSMan195276 for the networking code.

' ways to do it, but I thought I'd put mine here so we have at least one
' version. There's also a join function that does the opposite
' array -> single string.
'
' Code is hopefully reasonably self explanatory with comments and a little demo.
' Note, this is akin to Python/JavaScript split/join, PHP explode/implode.

'Split in$ into pieces, chopping at every occurrence of delimiter$. Multiple consecutive occurrences
'of delimiter$ are treated as a single instance. The chopped pieces are stored in result$().
'
'delimiter$ must be one character long.
'result$() must have been REDIMmed previously.

Make your own homemade racing wheel for cheap:
Parts

• USB optical mouse
  
• wood dowel, PVC pipe and/or aluminum tube
  
• a section of pool noodle
  
• a small box
  
• a wheel of some sort
  
• duct tape
  

Works good! You can also use a mouse to make a spinner for games like Pong / Breakout / Tempest.
