How to catch multiple keyStroke?

Hi,

I am trying to implement some keyboard functions using the keyStroke: method.

How can I catch multiple keyStroke: together?

For example, if the 'w' key is used to move forward and the 'd' key is to strafe right, I would want to press both together and move in a diagonal manner.

Currently, I can only have a single keyStroke: at a time which only the last key pressed is recorded.

Hello,

I think the example given by Bert here: http://www.nabble.com/Detecting-keyboard-state---finding-older-fixes-td15779144.html#a15836979

will do what you want.

Note that you will probably have to catch auto repeat keystrokes sent by Windows or Linux- see the rest of the thread.

Hi Phua Khai Fong,

I don't have the code in front of me, but usually there is a key stroke "down" even and a key stroke "up" even at a lower level than the getting a character event. To look for keyboard "cord" presses, while looking for those events you would have to look for the 'w' "down" and a 'd' "down" before seeing a 'w' up event.

Cheers,
Darius

GPGPU in Croquet

In reply to this post by Stan Shepherd

I've been playing with chaotic attractors of dynamical systems in Croquet, computed on the GPU. The code is based on David Faught's procedural textures code. Here's a movie of a simple system:

The cube is a parameter space for a parameter of the system.

The same code could also be used for other things like physics simulations, but it's not quite ready for public release just yet.
