well, i'm doing my ISU, and basically i just don't like the whole idea of filling up the buffer and releasing it at one place.. is there a better way to do this.. (my program has really crappy keyboard response, with only 1 delay..) |

you could just make another array of characters to hold which keys are down for a longer amount of time. i don't know if that'll make any sense, could you specify what you are trying to do by not clearing the buffer right away? |

filling up the buffer - thats how getch works. Input remains in memory untill it is read. InputKeyDown on other hand just checks what keys are physically being pressed down at the moment the command is colled. You'll never check if the user EVER presses "q" button if it is not part of your controls. |

hmm didn't know.. but anyways, the whole program works so blocky.. it's kinda weird... I know it's the global delay that is causing it, but when i try to use Time.Elapsed and use that as a singular delay the program begins to skip commands, and the keyboard basically becomes too sensitive.. what i'm wondering, is how does everyone else do it...  ..
for example. Evasive manuvers has pretty good keyboard... |
