KEY_8_PAD?

Rampage

Your question is not very clear. I understand that you want to respond to the event of the ENTER key of the numerical PAD being released, like an on_key_up event, is that right?

This is what I usually do in that case:

1 
2static int key_state[KEY_MAX];
3 
4int is_key_released(int key_index) {
5 int released = 0;
6 
7 if (key[key_index]) {
8 // key is pressed, store its state and return 0
9 key_state[key_index] = 1;
10 } else {
11 // key is released, check the stored state,
12 // if it's zero, the key was never pressed,
13 // if it's one, the key was pressed in the previous iteration, so it was just released
14 released = key_state[key_index];
15 // reset the stored state
16 key_state[key_index] = 0;
17 }
18 
19 return released;
20}
21 
22// use it to handle the event:
23if (is_key_released(KEY_PAD_ENTER)) {
24 on_key_pad_enter_released();
25}

Have a look at the keyboard call back functions, particularly 'keyboard_lowlevel_callback'

http://www.allegro.cc/manual/api/keyboard-routines/keyboard_lowlevel_callback

or if if you are in your main program loop try something like this

1#include <allegro.h>
2 
3int main(int argc, char **argv)
4{
5 allegro_init();
6 install_keyboard();
7 
8 set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 640, 480, 0, 0);
9 
10 int key_down = false;
11 int down_count = 0;
12 int up_count = 0;
13 
14 while(!key[KEY_ESC])
15 {
16 if (key[KEY_ENTER_PAD])
17 {
18 if (!key_down)
19 {
20 /* ran once when the key is pressed down */
21 down_count++;
22 key_down = true;
23 }
24 }
25 else
26 {
27 if (key_down)
28 {
29 /* ran once when the key is released */
30 up_count++;
31 key_down = false;
32 }
33 }
34 
35 textprintf_ex(screen, font, 0, 0, makecol(255,255,255), makecol(0,0,0), "Times KEY_ENTER_PAD has been pushed: %d", down_count);
36 textprintf_ex(screen, font, 0, 8, makecol(255,255,255), makecol(0,0,0), "Times KEY_ENTER_PAD has been released: %d", up_count);
37

39 }
