Is there any way to use getchar() with Dark GDK? I really want to use the w, a, s, and d keys for input.

Use the scan codes. Look up dbScanCode(...) in the input section of the help.

The fastest code is the code never written.

You can try like including "iostream.h" or "string.h" and so on. If you include the standard io head files, you can make it I think.

No pains, no gains

If(dbKeyState(17)==1)
{
dbMoveSprite(1,1);
}

That's the w key I'm pretty sure

Yeah, use

and in place of "KeyCode," put the corresponding ASCII code in. ASCII tables are easy enough to find online, but for laziness' sake, here's one anyway.

Tunnel vision yet? Have a carrot!

Ah, the good old days of ASCII.... What about BAUDOT? Who decided it was obsolete?!! Maybe I'm getting old....

The problem with dbScanCode() is that it returns only one value (either the first or the last in sequence.... Don't remember). It won't accurately reflect true if more than one key is pressed at the same time. Use "int dbKeyState ( int iScanCode )" instead. You have to make a map of the keys on your keyboard that you want to use, but that's not a big deal. Almost all games have a keymapping option now (unless it's very simple).

The fastest code is the code never written.
