ive got the wait key function at the beginning of my code,, which in theort just waits for a key yo be pressed then carries on. Ive found though that its not that responsive and sometimes you can press any key about 5 times before it registers and contines the code.

any ideas?

Must be something wrong with your code, but you haven't posted it.

sorry didnt think i needed to

basically i wont paste all my code but ive got


it shows a splash screen then plays a sound then waits for a key to be pressed.

Cant see how anything else can effect it as its not in a loop or anything its at the top of my code after all the images are loaded.

My test code works fine. Maybe the sound effect is causing a pause. Try my test code, and see if it works properly. If it does work OK, you'll have to put something after the sound effect. Maybe just a wait 1000 will cure it.






set display mode 800,600,16

do


wait key

print "hello"


loop

Hiya

Your code works fine.

Ive tried a wait and still no luck. remmed out sound and still the same. maybe its the backgrouns sprite im loading. I'll try it with other images and see. very strange though.

Try Sync On that speeds up your code a bit. What is that sprite for at 0,0 anyway? Maybe you don't even need it there at all.

There's a load Bitmap command that I use for screen pics.

Load Bitmap "Screen.bmp"

Doesn't have to be a .bmp it can be all of the usual image types.

It's just one line of code so saves making a sprite. Unless you go 3D then you use a plain.
