Keyboard Flush (flushchars?)

[PakzParticipant]

I just noticed that when using the keyboard that there is no working method to flush the keys after they have been pressed. I have a game loop where I check keyreleased space to open/close a window(rect) but if I use FlushChars() the last key is not erased.

Is Flushchars the right command for this?

Try to store keyreleased state into your own variable and use it inside of loop logic.

Next loop step keys should be flushed by monkey’s event system.

KeyPressed() will return true if the given key has been been pressed *since the last ‘render’* – you cannot manually clear it, it will be automatically cleared after the next render.

Some people are used to KeyPressed auto-clearing itself after it’s called but that is not the case in mx2 – no matter which way I go here I manage to piss off someone so sorry if that turns out to be you!

For GUI stuff, I really recommend using OnKeyEvent, OnMouseEvent etc as these will generally give you much more precise results.

No biggy.

I like monkey 2 very much so far after trying the last binary release. The best language I ever used. I like the features that I learned about.

I hope to be able to not spend to much (need 2 new laptops soon since my current ones are 2 and 3 years old already) so I can try and use paypal to donate. I have never used it before so I am a little bit afraid of it still.

I did this last night. Switching from lists to stacks was no problem either.

Monkey 2 Rocks !!
