Not for checking the actual input but to make it so that you can't press a button so rapidly.

Raw function pulled straight from one of my games.



You could do it that way or to use the timer, psudo code.

last = timer()
do
if timer() - last > 500
`get imput
last = timer()
endif
loop

This method prevents any repeats from the user holding the key down.
They must release the key before they can press it again.

if spacekey()=1 and flag=0 then flag=1

if spacekey()=0 then flag=0
