The advice is that if you want normal users to be able to play your game, you need to select the keyboard controls such that they don't cause jams. The underlying keyboard matrix is laid out in a grid, and jamming only occurs if you press 3+ keys that share both a row and a column. So for example, the 4-key combo 'ASDF' will never jam, because they all lie in the same row. Also worth pointing out that the modifier keys (ctrl, alt, cmd/meta/windows and shift) will never jam other keys. *** You can also buy much more expensive keyboards which offer 'N-key rollover', which means that they guarantee that nay number of simultaneous key presses can be detected (USB and OS limits in reporting key presses may still apply, however). It wouldn't pay to expect the average user to have one of these keyboards, though. -- Tristam MacDonald http://swiftcoder.wordpress.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pyglet-users" group.
