I need help programming the keyboard.

My goal is to make a bitmap move around the screen with the arrow keys, but I don't know how to code it so I can control it with the arrow keys.

If someone could please give me a sample bit of code that shows how to program the arrow keys that would be great.

1. Stop triple posting, you have to wait for your posts to be accepeted since your still on authorization.

2. Show some effort, do some searches on the forums and in the code base, read the tutorials that come with Darkbasic and the tutorials found on this site/these forums, you'll get all of the beginning info you need from there.

3. Consult the index in the help files that come with Darkbasic for extra info on every command in DB.

Well being as most programs use the arrow keys for movement, you could have downloaded almost anything to find that out. Look in the code base at the top. It looks like a $c

Hmmm... check some of the most simple help files. They use the arrowkey commands. Here's one: Upkey().

You can later use the Keystate() command, but for now stick with the simple ones.

Yeah man, I can't program in DB very well, but I was able to find that code in the help file with no problem. Search inkey$.

using keystate works better than inkey$ because you can detect it if multiple keys are being pressed.

Yes, I guess you are right.

searching the inkey$ in help will lead you to all INPUT commands, so just search that.
