I got bored over the weekend so I wrote this
You set it up like this:
Now place it in your game loop and use it the same way you did before:Code:import Key;
Key.listen(stage);
From my new blog, but no-one's reading it yet, so I thought I'd post here as well. Enjoy.Code:if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){trace("Left cursor key is being pressed")}
Hi,
Useful class (even though it has been done before). Nice work. I've added you to my RSS feed aggregator. I expect high quality posts sir!
Nice little class. Been thinking about making something like that for weeks. I blame my laziness. But now I don't have too. My life lesson is if you hold out long enough someone will do it for you. Thanks a bunch.
Nice work mate, and a good start to the blog.
I'll add your link in to ours sometime tonight ( I normally screw it up so I need to build up to 30mins swearing at something which should be easy ).
Squize.
Hi Cortana, you too sir.
Yes that's pretty similar to what I had originally planned, but I wanted the syntax to be identical, and the class to be static, so you don't need to declare or create an instance, just import and activate it by giving it a stage ref.
It looks great in the IDE because "Key" is still highlighted, even if you've selected publish to AS3. :)
.hooligan - We're all standing on the shoulders of giants mate, just as long as you put it to good use.
Squize - lovely, thanks! Using blogger is forcing me to do things with html/css. It reduces me to tears whenever I try and change something.
Maybe you could add way to stop listening, way to know if it is currently working and some errors in case it goes wrong.
Good suggestions. Key 2.0 will include those features.
I'm also thinking of a keylogger to replay games with and to submit with highscores for game verification (they were features we were going to implement in my last proect but didn't get time)
And before but cool anywayQuote:
