Hello everybody, I'm new to this mailing list. I am an amateur game programmer and have so far been delighted with Euphoria. However, I have run onto a few problems, well actually just one that I can think of right now. I have noticed that the keyboard routines read from it in a text based way e.g. a keypress registers once then is repeated several times if the key is held down and two or more keys cannot be read simultaneously. I'm sure you can see how this limitation can get in the way of game programming. I am aware of a set of routines that make use of the "ctrl", "alt", "shift", "caps lock" etc... keys for this purpose. However, this aproach does not meet my programming needs. I don't want to belittle the work put into them but they're just not what I'm looking for. So, if anyone has knowledge of or access to a solution to my problem please like write before I die or something. Most Sincerely, Lewis Townsend ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
