NAME

       scancode_to_ascii - Converts a scancode to an ASCII character. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int scancode_to_ascii(int scancode);

DESCRIPTION

       Converts  the  given  scancode to an ASCII character for that key (mangling Unicode values), returning the unshifted uncapslocked result of
       pressing the key, or zero if the key isn't a character-generating key or the lookup can't be done. The lookup cannot be done for keys  like
       the  F1-F12  keys or the cursor keys, and some drivers will only return approximate values. Generally, if you want to display the name of a
       key to the user, you should use the scancode_to_name function.

       Example:

	  int ascii;
	  ...
	  ascii = scancode_to_ascii(scancode);
	  allegro_message("You pressed '%c'
", ascii);
