Re: [Audyssey] quesiton about triple j shooter
Hi Kelly, I forgot to mention that even in some of my older games like Mach 1 and Pong, one would want to remove Jaws. You know because of the Jaws key repeat filter. So like if you held down an arrow key it was as if you only pressed it once. And that would make those games very hard if not impossible to play.

Re: [Audyssey] quesiton about triple j shooter
Hi Kelly, Yeah I used to just use the VB6 keyboard input and that and Jaws get along ok. But it can only get one key at a time. DirectX can detect lots of keys at the same time. It does have that problem with Jaws though. But I could not have made games such as Homer on a Harley, Puppy 1, Mach 1 tts and Triple J Shooter without the multiple key input stuff. Have fun.

Re: [Audyssey] quesiton about triple j shooter
Hi Shaun, When you said I have noticed that navigation with this game in fact all the joystick designed things jim has made are quite different in speed of menu navigation. So is that they are slower, don't interrupt speech or what? I think that I did slow them down a bit by request of people here on the list. They said that they were scrolling through the menu too fast.

Re: [Audyssey] quesiton about triple j shooter
Hi Jim, Not only that but using standard Windows keyboard events weather it is done through the VB 6 runtime, .NET Framework, or is used in a C++ application is pretty slow. When a user presses a key he/she has to wait for the keyboard event to be registered by Windows, go through the message pump, and wait for Windows to signal the application that the state of the keyboard has changed. Although, that seams fast to us it is actually not able to keep up with constant fast action keyboard input, and the Windows message pump will get bogged down in processing multiple key presses. Something it was not designed to do. As a result we need something like DirectInput. It does exactly what the name implies. It acts as a direct bridge between the game and the hardware input device. It frequently gets a snapshot of the entire keyboard and can return the state of any key at once allowing you not only to hold down multiple keys, have fast action key presses, but to come up with new and interesting combos. You could, for example, use c+up arrow for crawl forward or x+up arrow to jump forward. This is far more flexible than the standard alt, control, and shift keys Windows uses for modifiers. Cheers!

[Audyssey] quesiton about triple j shooter
Hey everyone, I just had a question. I installed the triple j shooter and it doesn't appear to be working correctly. It asks my age and I input it and press enter. it then asks me to make a selection and the only choice I have is to exit game. Can anyone offer some suggestions?

Re: [Audyssey] quesiton about triple j shooter
Hi Kellie, Sorry, I forgot to mention that with Triple J Shooter you must remove Jaws from memory. You know it is that thing where Jaws intercepts the arrow keys before DirectX can get them.

Re: [Audyssey] quesiton about triple j shooter
Hi Kelly, Two suggestions. First, if you have not already done so unload Jaws as JFW has a known problem with DirectX applications. Second, is the game is age based so perhaps your age was too young. I don't think this is the case, but it might be. Kellie and my lovable Lady J. wrote: Hey everyone, I just had a question.

Re: [Audyssey] quesiton about triple j shooter
yeah you need to push the keys slooowly as. And I mean it, since this game is designed for joystick its not going to allow for keyboard quickpress probably because joystick actions are not like that. I have noticed that navigation with this game in fact all the joystick designed things jim has made are quite different in speed of menu navigation.
