I guess your input code read what "physical" key is pressed and not the value of the command.

This is a problem when playing with a Swedish keyboard and the game is written for American(?) keyboards.

The game told me to press '?' for commands. But nothing happens, and I have to look up where the '?'-key is on the American layout.

With SDL I find it better to read keys by their integer value:
SDLK_SPACE
SDLK_ENTER

Chars cast to integers also work:
int('?')
int ('>')

That way the keyboard layout doesn't matter.

I like the feel of the game otherwise.
Happy is the tomb where no wizard hath lain and happy the town at night whose wizards are all ashes.

Yeah, the problem is that SDL never raises the keyboard event for the QuestionMark code on my keyboard (and probably most US keyboards), so I had Shift + Slash mapped to show keybindings.  I just fixed this issue, so next release shouldn't have any of these problems. 

You can also add the keybinding yourself by editing 'keys.cfg' and adding an another [ShowHelp] entry with the code=QuestionMark and modifiers=None.

Quite looking forward to how the magic system ultimately shapes up.  Congrats on yet another meaty release so soon after the last!   8)

SDL has unicode data which should give a correct keyboard code for any keyboard type.
