Currently there is no keypress support.

The following loop must be modified:

KeyDOWN matches pressing
KeyUp matches release

So something like that can be done

 while gameState.running: 
   while sdl2.pollEvent(gameState.event): 
     case gameState.event.kind: 
     of QuitEvent: 
       gameState.running = false 
       break 
     of KeyDown: 
       case event.key.keysym.sym:
       of K_KP0: foo(key0)
       of K_KP1: foo(key1)
       ...
     else: 
       break 

Keycodes are available here: https://github.com/nim-lang/sdl2/blob/master/src/sdl2/private/keycodes.nim

A new "key" array should be added to store the key states (up or down)

Layout

The original key layout is this:

with 2-4-6-8 corresponding to up left right down.

Ideally Chirp-8 should read mapping from a .cfg to so that people can customize their keyboard mapping:

• laptops without a keypad
• non-QWERTY keyboard
• ...
