> Registers a "down" (press) event on a button.

> Return value: none.

— Function: void lw6gui_button_register_up (lw6gui_button_t * button)

Then, after all this, you want to know how many times it has been pressed. Querying its state with `lw6gui_button_is_pressed` won't tell you much but this `pop_press` function will return 1 for each press there's been.

> Return value: 1 if success, O if failure.

> Synchronizes two input objects. This is typically used to pass data from one thread to another. This is not a copy, it will brute-force copy the static data such as mouse position, but anything like a queue will be treated in a "empty source and fill target with data" scheme. So source will be affected by this, the key buffer will be emptied, and so on. And if there are key in the target buffer, they won't be overwritten but kept in front of the FIFO list.

> Return value: 1 if success, O if failure.

— Function: int lw6gui_joystick_check_index (int i)

> i: index to check

> Checks wether the index is correct. Does not mean the joystick exists, it's just to avoid out of bounds errors.

> joystick: joystick to update

> x: x-axis position, as returned by the driver

> limit: the limit, under this, buttons are considered unpressed.

> keypress: the keypress object to free.

> Deletes a keypress structure.

> menu: the menu we want to query

> position: the order of the item we want

> menu: the menu we want to modify

> position: the position of the item we want to select

> allow_scroll: wether scrolling should be allowed when displaying it

> now: the current time, as a timestamp.

— Function: int lw6gui_menu_scroll_up (lw6gui_menu_t * menu)

— Function: int lw6gui_menu_scroll_down (lw6gui_menu_t * menu)

> menu: the menu to scroll

> menu: the menu to center

> position: the position of the menuitem to be put in the center

> max_displayed_items: the maximum number of items displayed

> menu: the menu we want to modify

> menuitem: the item to insert

> position: the position the new item will occupy ("insert before" mode)

> now: the current time, as a timestamp.

— Function: void lw6gui_menu_update_display_range (lw6gui_menu_t * menu, int max_displayed_items)

> menu: the menu concerned

> max_displayed_items: the maximum number of items to display at once

> Updates the display range. The reason for having this is that the first item, that is, how far we scroll in a very long menu, depends on the previous position. Plus you have to handle limit cases (begin/end). Thus, this function, which will automatically pick-up a suitable position. Of course, `first_item_displayed` is not necessarly equal to `selected_item`.

> Return value: none.

— Function: int lw6gui_menu_insert_for_id_use (lw6gui_menu_t * menu, char * label, int value, int enabled, int selected, int colored, int position, int64_t now)

> selected: wether the inserted menuitem should be selected

> colored: wether the inserted menuitem should use value as its color

> now: current time (timestamp)

> Inserts a menu item at the given position. The idea is that the menu item object is automatically constructed on the fly, and an id is returned, which can be passed to '_using_id' menu-related functions. This is typically for using in scripts. The idea is that the script just keeps a copy of the id returned, and can this way operate directly on the menuitem without keeping a pointer, a smob or anything internally. From the C point of view, having a real C structure enables persistent data from one display to the other, and this is nice and conveninent. I acknowledge the prototype is scary.

> Return value: 0 if error, or else an id which will later be used with '_using_id' functions.

— Function: int lw6gui_menu_append_for_id_use (lw6gui_menu_t * menu, char * label, int value, int enabled, int selected, int colored, int64_t now)

> value: the value of the menuitem to append

> enabled: wether the appended menuitem should be enabled

> selected: wether the appended menuitem should be selected

> colored: wether the appended menuitem should use value as its color

> now: current time (timestamp)

> Appends a menuitem using the same logic as `lw6gui_menu_insert_for_id_use` that is to say a parameter is returned which can later be used to directly operate on a given menuitem, without having its pointer, and even if its position changes.

> Return value: 0 if error, or else an id which will later be used with '_using_id' functions.

— Function: int lw6gui_menu_remove_using_id (lw6gui_menu_t * menu, int menuitem_id, int64_t now)

> menu: the menu to work on

> menuitem_id: the id of the menuitem to remove

> now: current time (timestamp)

> Deletes the menuitem with the given id. Very important: the id is not the position. Id are arbitrary numbers that stick to menuitems, but they are not directly linked with the position. This function is practical to use if, for some reason, you don't have the pointer on the menuitem.

> Return value: 1 if success, 0 if failure (out of range).

— Function: void lw6gui_menu_sync_using_id (lw6gui_menu_t * menu, int menuitem_id, char * label, int value, int enabled, int selected, int colored, int64_t now)

> menu: the menu to work on

> menuitem_id: the id of the menuitem to synchronize

> now: current time (timestamp)

> Updates the menuitem with the given id. Very important: the id is not the position. Id are arbitrary numbers that stick to menuitems, but they are not directly linked with the position. This function is practical to use if, for some reason, you don't have the pointer on the menuitem. In practice, it's heavily used in the game to transmit informations from the scripts to the core C engine. Additionnaly, this function will automatically synchronize the `selected_item` field of the menu struct.

— Function: lw6gui_menu_t * lw6gui_menu_dup (lw6gui_menu_t * menu)

> menu: the menu to duplicate

> Duplicates a menu structure.

> Return value: a pointer to the new menu.

— Function: int lw6gui_menu_sync (lw6gui_menu_t * dst, lw6gui_menu_t * src)

> dst: the target menu

> src: the source menu

> Synchronizes two menus, this supposes that they represent the same menu, but simply in a different state. This function does not really copy src to dst, it has a special behavior, indeed everything is copied from src to dst, except the `first_item_displayed` and `nb_items_displayed` which are taken from dst and copied to src. This is because in practise, those values are updated in the display loop/thread, which is the one which uses the target. This is not very orthodox, but should work.

> Return value: 1 if success, 0 if failure

— Function: lw6gui_menuitem_t * lw6gui_menuitem_new (char * label, int value, int enabled, int selected, int colored)

> enabled: wether the menu item can be selected, used, and so on

> selected: wether the menu item is the item selected among all menu items.

> colored: wetherr the menu item must, when drawn, be colored according to its value.

> Constructs a new menuitem object. Note that you can always call other functions to modify these values afterwards, this might change rendering since `lw6gui_menuitem_set_value` or `lw6gui_menuitem_set_label` will, for instance, modify the "when was that item last modified" information.
