Is there any way to specify that if the user presses a specific key anywhere in the game that the game will execute a piece of code.

For example I have the result of my game showing animations. The could be a sequence of up to 20 different animations of 2sec each ( Sprite animations) At any time during these the user might want to skip the remaining animations and continue with the game.

The only way I can think of now would be to continuously GOSUB to a routine to check if the key had been pressed. This is a tedious method. I am looking for something better.


Thanks in advance

Peter

I'm afraid that it's the tedious method for you ...

One way to make things easier is to only check when you issue a sync command ... for example, instead of using SYNC, use MYSYNC() and the following code (modified appropriately)
