I have build the Monster hunt game with the tutorial
but instead of writing 'If upkey()=1...' I wrote
'If inkey$="w"'. The problem is that the game get stuck
from time to time it is like I have a gaint lag in the game
How can I fix it?

I added the source of the game.

does it happen when you hold 2 direction buttons at once? that is what happens when you use inkey$() because it only detects if one key is being pressed. also maybe your computer might be a bit slow but this is unlikely

inkey$ is not ideal for moving buttons, it's ok for simple operations like toggling a map on/off for example.

Look up scancode and keystate in help.

scancode() gives you a number representing which key is currently pressed.

keystate(x) tells you if a specific key is pressed.

So, for you, keystate(17) gives you '0' if 'w' not pressed, and '1' if it is pressed

If your mansion house needs haunting, just call Rentaghost!
