It was pretty easy, but I ran out of time. Experience with calculator programming definitely helped. Progress on the weekend is dead, as could have been guessed. I think I'll make the Shift key jump. -------------------- Greetings from 2/5/2012! The forums may be in read-only mode, but signatures aren't!

QUOTE

it would work well for a RPG tho, actually making a RPG in VB is easy but I don't know how to create save data and handle them yet

Yea it'd be fine as long as it's not an Action RPG like Zelda or something.

Ragol666 Group: Founder Posts: 11283 Member No.: 1 Joined: 9 Apr, 2006	yeah the only reason why my Metroid II game used UP for jumping was because xLIB doesn't support multiple keypress for anything that isn't arrows, so with 2nd for example I couldn't allow both jumping and moving at once -------------------- Join us on IRC on #omnimaga at irc://unitedti.org!

Staff Group: Coders Of Tomorrow Posts: 1491 Member No.: 24 Joined: 11 Apr, 2006	that's too bad. Can you do multiple key presses w/ other key combos? It really annoys me how the keyboard was set up in the groups they are currently in. It's basically: 1.) arrows 2.) 2nd, mode, del, F1-5 keys and then every other vertical column of keys ends up being a group as well basically. It'd have been more convenient for calc game makers to have more convenient groups of keys, but I guess it's mainly determined by hardware set up. -------------------- Projects: In need of sprites...

Though I could work an a small subroutine that would output a list containing key presses. It wouldn't be that hard in fact the hardest part would but making the list. Or if it is requested I could output it the way xLib does it but I don't know how xLib outputs it so I couldn't help you there. -------------------- >(v') BLUB shall rule the world "If you've done something right no one will know that you've done anything at all" -Futurerama

I'll see if it works in theory later this week. -------------------- Greetings from 2/5/2012! The forums may be in read-only mode, but signatures aren't!

But I was able to think out my 5AM idea to a more refined one. Though I used my VB time today to practice simple C++ for no reason. -------------------- Greetings from 2/5/2012!
