Soo, which routine are you going to use?
While {Lobesteritus_Ensues}
getKey->{The_Game}
End

By the way, adding a pause in a loop with a getkey doesn't actually do anything control-wise other than make the response time a little slower.  The pause needs to be internal in the getkey routine itself (which I have fixed now).

Do you mean pause and getkey will be merged? I am not too sure what you mean by being internal in the getkey routine :(

Quigibo, does that mean something like the getKey(#)r I suggested, or am I misunderstanding?

You mean getKey(#) will have the pause built-in from now on, right? So no messing with Pause for keypresses :D

EDIT: Oh, yeah, you're right, Quigibo. Even if we added a pause, it wouldn't affect anything since the getKey routine's already done.

Oh I see now what he meant. It would be nice if we could make the pause internal.

It has to be, anyway. So what was the problem earlier? Did the getKey(#) routine simply not have a pause, so the key codes could turn out wrong or something?

I think it didn't have a long enough pause for 15MHz mode.

I think in Wabbitemu, this also happened in 6 Mhz mode. One of player1537 program (his first contest entry I think) had that problem. Wabbitemu migth have handled key detection differently or something.

Could Wabbit be running too fast? It seems to be, even for 6 MHz now.

Yeah I heard people saying it has been running a bit faster. However, in 6 MHz mode I didn't notice.

In 6mhz mode on my calc (an 84+SE letter M) I need to add extra Pauses when doing loops like this:
While getKey(54)
End
(I must do While getKey(54):Pause 40:End.  Please note the 40 isn't exact, it's the first number that I tried, and it works, so... :))

What happens if you don't? Does it not register the keypresses?

I assume so. Isn't a smaller delay enough, though? Personally I would hate if the delay was too long because then the game starts slowing down, which is bad if you are using grayscale.
