[RESOLVED] What's the easiest... [vb6]

Way to make something move with keypresses?

using keyarray or other ways which i'm not aware of?

I wanted to know because i'm starting to make a little platformer, and the other question is..

How would i make it possible for enemies to attack me and then i lose health?

Any help appreciated, thanks :D

Hi Joe123,

With VB6 if I remember, you use key events on the form (use the drop down boxes near the top of the IDE).

If you want to make a decent platformer then learn BitBlt, its a fairly simple graphics API that will allow you to draw 2D sprites quickly. If you learn BitBlt then you could learn how to use getasynckeystate too which would allow nice smooth input.

Ok thanks :]

I'll get learning.
