Would liek to help, bu I don't understand what you want. Which look do
you want to change?

Derive from PG_TimerObject and use AddTimer and eventTimer. I have
attached an example from our game.ch contains a lot of noise, but I
wasn't sure how much to remove. Look at the functions
SmallMap::restartTimer() and SmallMap::eventTimer().

I cannot provide an example yet. Want to do two other patches first. But
since I once decided to have a look at this mechanism anyway, there will
be one hopefully till Christmas.

Until then, as general pointers:

- Take the cvs sources (the mechanism changed a lot since 1.1.8 and is
  now much easier).
- Derive a new class from PG_EventSupplier and rewrite the abstract
  functions, so that they generates keyboard events from whatever source
  you prefer. (most important is PollEvents; a blueprint for the others
  can be found in the class PG_SDLEventSupplier)
- call PG_Application::SetEventSupplier and set your own class as event
  supplier.

Maybe this gets you started a bit.
