I was wondering how many ppl have tried to make text-based games using db. Im in the middle ofmaking one right now and have noticed that you can actually make a text game look really good. But there is one thing that i dont know how to do. Can someone give me an example of an input statement that checks for CAPs and checks for d-keys. Thanks!!!

I'm a man on a mission, a mission so huge it could mean life or death, a mission to the fridge.

i think if you want to check for capitals or the d key you need to use keystate() putting the ascii number in the brackets.

Caps should be a different number than the lower case keys, i am only new to dbasic but have a look at that function it might point you in the right direction.

Hope it helps

Sorry i think i might of miss read a bit because of the spacing, if by d-keys you mean direction keys its if upkey() = 1, if leftkey() = 1, etc for the arrow keys if you want to make use of them.
