Thread: A KeyCode Question..?

    Question

    I am going to attempt to make a racing game for my high school computer programming class, and I'm trying to simulate a RPM Tach. I need to figure out a way so that when no keys are being pressed, for the RPMs to drop gradually....

    Is it possible to have a:

    While KeyCode = "" RPM = RPM - 100

    or something along those lines?

    Add a timer control, and place RPM=RPM-100 in there, set interval to for instance 50 ms.

    now when you press a key, add 200

    Thanks! That's what I did though right after I posted....

    This program is coming well, but I'm sure gonna have a hard time checking for a colision. Any suggestions?

    I already have all my directions, as well as shifting, RPM and accelerating done! I'm proud of that much!

    Depends, the most general collision detection is
    collision=dx=0
    how many dimensions are involved, and what shape of objects are colliding?
