Ok,well,I decided that I was going to make a simplified keys dll today. Well,there are the number keys, used like a norma upkey() function,but instead it would be key1() or key2() or so on. Say you had it set to do this:


if you press it on the num-pad or above the letters,it will still register. The keys are this: Tab key(), a-z key(). If you want some symbols added in,just lemme know and I'll add 'em in. Have fun for now,I personally think this makes things much easier.

Huh, that's nice. I'll probobly use it, instead of fiddling around with scancode()!

The advantage of testing keystate is that your keys are configurable. Writing code which says if akey() then you can't reconfigure that control, whereas

Means that up_action can be redefined at runtime ... i.e. loaded out of a configuration file!

adr- I do understand where your coming from with that. In fact,I use loading the controls out of a config file for one of my games. Its just sometimes,if you don't mean to use that,it'd be good to have something easier. Personally,I'd rather not spend time checking if I'm right with the wsad keys,and rather just type in w key() and what not. Any other keys people would like added in?

i think the WASD keys are scancodes 29,30,31, and something else... (32?)

As for checking if the key is right...

no its 17,31,30,and 32. By the way,if people wanna use this,they gotta put this in the file somewhere:


That or any other input function will do. Otherwise you'll get a crash. Thats just ment to include the dbp input dll.
