Hi all,

I am a beginner and I start learning from Youtube toturial. Running AGK2 classic from Windows 10 Pro x64 laptop.
When I go to lesson two "AppGameKit Tutorial #02 - Load an image, create a sprite and move it!" (see link#1 below), I found I can't move my sprite even using the same code. So I go to Home>Examples>Joysticks page, copy same code , modify only image filename, try run it and the sprite still not move, even the on screen GetSpriteX, and GetSpriteY always show 0. Also I try plug a full size USB keyboard into my laptop and still not working. Here is my code, hope someone can help me.

your code ran fine for me; a couple thoughts:

if you don't have a touch screen, use the WASD keys to move. i only 1/2-heartedly listened to the video but i didn't hear him state more than "use the keyboard" advice (you might be trying to use the arrow keys like i did on first run).

when it comes to a physical/usb joystick, make sure that it's plugged in before you run the app or AppGameKit won't know it's there/connected (i expect the same when plugging a keyboard in).

add: in the example, i'm not sure why the SetJoystickScreenPosition () is included as it's not necessary where an actual virtual joystick won't show on screen unless it's added manually.

Hi Virtual Nomad,

Thank you, WASD key works, and all the test codes are running smoothly.

You solve my question.

Happy Merry Christmas,

Stanley Hsu
