neither
rawKeyStillDown
nor
keyStillDown
exist (as yet)
however I wish they did . . .
I know that one can poll the mouse . . .
Can one poll the keyboard ?
-------------------------------------------------------
Why?
Because I am reverting to my dreams of playing daft games on my BBC Micro in
the late 1980's, and remember that the BBC had no mouse; so objects in
the side-scrolling
games of the time were controlled by keyDowns alone; and a keyDown did
something
once, and a key-held-down-for-quite-some-time did the same thing
repeatedly, instead
of forcing me to get repetitive finger wonkiness by going
tap-tap-tappitty-tap
ad nauseam.
