Where can I find a list of keycodes? I'm trying to use the keys 'a' and 'z' so I figured I'd use 65 and 90. And, it didn't work. But up and down keys work.

I made a header that has all of the scan codes. All you have to do is put AKey where you would put the scancode if you want to use the A key.

Just put the file in the include section of dark GDK.

You can use that header from programming maniac, or you can use DirectInput. Just include dinput.h. Here are its scan codes:

(There's advertising in the middle of the page, skip it and there are more scan codes below)

Hi haYnguy,

This had me confused for a while also.

Important information:

Your keyboard produces Scan Codes for the AT keyboard.
The BIOS in your computer converts these Scan Codes into the equivalent XT keyboard scan codes.(Backwards compatibility)

DarkGDK actually reads the Scan Codes from the BIOS.

Therefor in the game you have to ALWAYS test for XT equavelent scan Codes.

Hope that helps you

I don't know why, but I had the same problem. But when I used the scancodes with keystate() iit worked just fine.
