u should use input.keydown instead of getch since u can cheat by pressing down two of ur buttons and then nobody else can move

[gamer]

u need ta use view.update or else the players flash alot

[Paul]

Good idea though, I was just thinking of making one the other day , stop the flashing and it would be better, my resolution also screws it up.

y'kno dodge you can still jam the keyboard with input.keydown.. keyboards, excluding shift, ctrl, and alt, can only handle 3 sometimes 4 totally max of 5 keys at one time. mine can do 4 i think.

[valor]

good idea but needs work, are you supposed to be able to move up down forward and backward with the same person?

[Newfder]

yes, you are supposed to be able to move anywhere

[SuperGenius]

good effort, and better than anything else ive seen in our class so far. I think it would be cool if you made it playable over the internet, with 1/2 people at each terminal, and this would also reduce crowding around the keyboard. Perhaps one player could use the mouse to the same end as well.

[WhatAmIDoing]

ya it is a good idea I had 4 ppl playing on keyboard in class till we got kicked out so good job

[gamer]

ok i heard from a friend of mine saying that turing doesnt allow two button being pressed at the sametime, somethine about no buffering.....example, if 2 people playin pong with the same keyboard (one on left one on right side), let say the right player hit the ball but then he holds down a key, then the left player wont be able to move the paddle with the keys.....is this true?? or is this only for older version of turing? how to fix it?

[Newfder]

no its not true. you can however do something like that IF you are using getch, to fix it use Input.KeyDown
