Multikey codes (Read 559 times)

metasoarous Ex Member	Multikey codes Feb 12^th, 2009, 2:53am Hi there. If you want to write a keyPressed function whose behavior is determined by a multi-key entry, such as "Ctrl +", or "Ctrl H", how would you check for a key combo like that?

boolean[] keys;
void setup()
{
keys = new boolean[512]; // just to be sure. i don't remember the highest keyCode value right now Tongue

}
void draw()
{
if(keys[CONTROL] && keys[32]){ // CTRL + SPACE
println("HELLO WORLD");
}
}

void keyPressed()
{
println(keyCode); // to find out the different keyCodes for the different chars, read the output from this.
keys[keyCode] = true;
}
void keyReleased()
{
keys[keyCode] = false;
}

I'm bored, therefore I program

allright, i never needed it so it was just a guess. but its working this way... maybe clean it up a bit, but it works...

boolean a = false;
boolean s = false;

void setup(){
size( 400, 400 );
background(255);
}

void draw(){

background(255);
fill(255);
if(keyPressed) {
if (key == 's' ) {
s = true;
}
}
else{
s=false;
}

if(keyPressed) {
if (key == 'a' ) {
a = true;
}
}
else{
a=false;
}

if(a==true && s==true)fill(255,0,0);

stroke(0);
ellipse(200,200,200,200);

}
