Total Posts: 4 | I can't use the "getKey" command correctly. When the map displays, I can't move around the screen when I press a button.
In games like Age of Darkness 2 (my favorite so far), I can move around maps by pressing the arrow buttons. But I can't figure out how to program that myself.

In BASIC programs, keypresses are detected automatically. All getKey does is stores the pressed key to Ans and resets it, allowing a new key to be pressed. The most recent key to be pressed before getKey is the one stored.
You can use it like this to move something around the screen:
A = row
B = column
C = getKey
D = previous row
E = previous column
1->A
1->B
1->D
1->E
ClrHome
Repeat C=105
Output(D,E,"
Output(A,B,"O
A->D
B->E
getKey->C
A-(C=25)+(C=34->A
B-(C=24)+(C=26->B
End
DelVarADelVarBDelvarCDelvarDDelvarEClrHome
A number corresponds with each key on the calculator. As you can see from the example, it's a good idea to put off getKey until right before you will use it, leaving as much time as possible for the user to press a key.
I like to use strings for maps, having one character for each tile. Come back after you're fairly adept with strings (or ask about it here), but I don't have time to say much more about this.
