Hi Cara, I haven't pondered this. Are you saying, for example, that you could give the player a forward velocity of 0.1, and as long as walking is true, update that every time through the game loop? Then if the velocity is 0, he just wouldn't move? Fascinating concept. I wouldn't mind some clarification. All the best, Ryan

This way the player's movement could be calculated and performed every frame. No timer necessary. thanks for the great thread!
