Thread: strange keyboard delay

Hello!

I'm programming a game and I use keyboard input...
I have an object on the screen and when an arrow key is pressed the object is moving to that direction while the key is pressed...
When I press an arrow the object is moving to that direction the distance it should, than it delays, and than it moves correctly as it should...
I can't figure out why the delay accours...
I thought maybe it's the keyboard delay rate or repeate rate so I tried to change it but it didn't work!

Please help me!
I included the source so you can find the "symptoms"...

I use Borland Turbo C++ 3.0

Thank you for helping me!

What you mention is caused by the "windows keyboard handler", which makes a "delay" after the first press. It is possible to make your own hanler if you use DOS, or use DirectInput (Direct X). I don't know which platform you use...
