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'\n", ascii);
