At first I was like, I think this would deserve a feature but then I was like "Wait, he is staff ;)wink.gif".

@xlibman: Yes please

@kalan - I can't seem to register on the creature site...the registration form just cuts off and there is no submit or anything...

 Oh, well I will try when I get home. But it is a pretty cool game/simulation thing.

Thanks, I hope I can fullfil my ideas for it with some decent code.

Updated :)smile.gif.

EDIT: Ok, so question for you uberleet coders out there.  Should I use xLIB's getkey when speed isn't an object?  Does it need to be embedded in a loop?  If so, I'll stick with getKey as I can actually remember those values ;)wink.gif.  But if it doesn't, I'll think about using it as it would save space...

Use xlib getkey whenever you dont need very precise key detection, like in walking movements, it is faster

xLIBs getkey is faster, but detects keys a little wierd. It is so fast it misses the key press sometime. I use it in a couple of my games (Tank) and it's a space saver and speed boster. I would imbed it in a loop for a walking engine, or something that isn't real time (DDR/FFR/XXR).

The arrows are simply 1-8, so I just do
c1-->
CODE
ec1Repeat Ans and Ans<9
real(8
Endc2
ec2
That's just for using the arrows, but add a or Ans=54 (2nd I think) if you wanted more.

For a better key detection if your game doesnt require much speed you could do something like
real(8
Ans->A
...
commands
...
if A=/=0: then
real(8
Ans->A
End
...
commands
if A =/=0:then
real(8
Ans->A
End
...
commands
...





or just osmething like

for(A,0,10
real(8
end
ans->A

c1-->
CODE
ec1Repeat Ans and Ans<9
real(8
Endc2
ec2

Yes, but the diff. between real(8 and getKey->X isn't alot, and xLIB's val's are odd, so I think I'll stick with getKey, only because I can program using it alot faster, IMO.

Well best of luck, and yes the values are a little different. But on the plus side the arrows are nicely done, being 1-8 including diagonals!

Mmm, but there isn't any movement enging in this game, so I don't need that.  If there was, I'd use it.
