How do you register multiple key presses at the same time?

Hi. I'm trying to write a first person game in OpenGL and I'm having some trouble with key listening. Right now I just use the basic AWT KeyListener. The problem that arises is that whenever I hold down a key, such as a movement key, there is a short pause after it moves me in the appropriate direction, and only after the pause does it start continuously moving me. In addition to that, I can't press multiple keys at once to get diagonal movement (I use WASD for movement). Is there something I can do with AWT to fix both of these problems, or is there something other than AWT that I should use that would be better?

the pause is the typomatic rate of the keyboard, you can avoid that by using the keyPressed and setting a flag then a sleep(myDelayTime).... if they keyRelease--and clearing of the flag--hasn't happened after the sleep, then you're key is still down so keep firing, moving, or what ever.

    You can select a range of songs by selecting the first, then holding shift when clicking on the last. You can ctrl+click to add or remove from the selection. Once you have a selection press Ctrl+I to Get Info. Type in the new Genre and press OK.

  • How do you open multiple email messages at the same time on Mail?

    Hi,
    are there any preferences to control how emails are opened from Mail client.
    Currently I can only open one emil at a time and can not toggle between messages or even toggle between the inbox view and a single message.  This is very frustrating especially if you want to toggle across multiple messages.
    Thanks for the help.

    Just figured it out - I can select multiple messages as you suggested when I am not in full screen mode.
    So once I come out of full screen mode - then the multiple windows open.

    How do you separate multiiple ios devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

    The only way I have seen is to have each device use a if fervent email account, if they all are on the same email the FaceTime connection is either to a phone number or to an email address.  If they ar all on the same email, it is up to the user to decide which to use.

Is this possible?

  • How do you drag-scale and copy at the same time?

    I just want to drag-scale and copy at the same time like in previous versions of illustrator by holding the command key while dragging. Can someone help me find out how to do this with CC? I don't have time to re-learn basic things over again. What was wrong with it the way it was?

    I guess you have to have the scale tool selected in the tool bar now in order to "drag-scale" and copy at the same time. Before you could just do it no matter what tool was selected in the tool bar. I liked it the way it was.

    You will need to create a new Apple ID for your GameCenter and iCloud services.  You can continue to use the current Apple ID you share with your Mom for access to iTunes Store purchases if you wish.

  • Two key's Pressed at the same time

    hi,
    I wanna test for two buttons pressed at the same time, but it just wont happen!!
    I am using this code:
    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
         if (e.getKeyCode() == e.VK_X && e.getKeyCode() == e.VK_RIGHT) {
              System.out.println("Its working...");
              doWhatEver();
    }is this the right code to do so, or is it completly wrong??

    You can only get one key at a time, you need a boolean value for each key.
    By example:
    private boolean upPressed;
    private boolean downPressed;
    private boolean leftPressed;
    private boolean rightPressed;
    private class KeyAction extends KeyAdapter {
    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
    switch (e.getKeyCode()) {
    case KeyEvent.VK_UP:
    upPressed = true;
    break;
    case KeyEvent.VK_DOWN:
    downPressed = true;
    break;
    case KeyEvent.VK_LEFT:
    leftPressed = true;
    break;
    case KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT:
    rightPressed = true;
    break;
    if (upPressed && leftPressed) {
    System.out.println("North-East");
    } else if (upPressed && rightPressed) {
    System.out.println("North-West");
    } else if (downPressed && leftPressed) {
    System.out.println("South-East");
    } else if (downPressed && rightPressed) {
    System.out.println("South-West");
    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
    switch (e.getKeyCode()) {
    case KeyEvent.VK_UP:
    upPressed = false;
    break;
    case KeyEvent.VK_DOWN:
    downPressed = false;
    break;
    case KeyEvent.VK_LEFT:
    leftPressed = false;
    break;
    case KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT:
    rightPressed = false;
    break;
    //Do whatever here

    How to sync with two computers (not at the same time), I'm registered with one computer and am trying to connect with second computer with same iPhone. To sync the first time with the second PC "Firefox Sync Option tells me Create New account or Connect, when I connect it gives me a Passcode and on iPhone it also gives me a Passcode, than how do I connect? Both the iPhone and PC gives me a Passcode and have now idea what to do with them.
    Where do I find my Sync Key ? so I can install manually if it works ?

    Use the Sync Key ''(Recovery Key)'' from the PC that you used to initially setup your Firefox Sync service, when setting up that 2nd PC with Sync. You need to use '''Add a device''' to setup the 2nd and subsequent devices on a Sync account. <br />
