hi! Keyboard: How excactly is the the buffer array which is used with DirectInput altered? I think the 256 ints in the buffer represent ascii chars, but what value do they have? bye chris

they are not ascii codes, they are keymaps more or less, but the values it fills the array with also tell whether the key is pushed or not. You''ll really have to read the SDK documentation to understand this one. Look in the tutorials under DirectInput.

Think of eack entry in the array as a flag.
Each flag will change state depending on whether the corresponding key is currently down or up.
