Dear All,
when developing games with eToys it is important to know whether a key is pressed or released. This way multiple actions can be controlled at the same time. Something like:
if (key pressed? <up>) if (key pressed? <w>)
However I only found "last keystroke". Is there something built in? or: Do I need to develop this myself? or: Do sources exist that add this behaviour? I found this: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/488 and I downloaded eToys 5 from the website. But I can not get it to run.
Greetings, Nicco
Nicco,
In the "Object Catalog" under "Just for Fun" you will find a "Key Press" morph. This should meet your needs.
What exactly is the error you are getting when trying to run Etoys 5? , What OS are you using?

Nicco,
Steve kindly demonstrated the use of the Key Press Morph on a Google Hangout. Watch the first part of this video:

To some of us, writing computer programs is a fascinating game. A program is a building of thought. It is costless to build, weightless, growing easily under our typing hands. If we get carried away, its size and complexity will grow out of control, confusing even the one who created it. This is the main problem of programming. It is why so much of today's software tends to crash, fail, screw up.
When a program works, it is beautiful. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity. The great program is subdued, made simple in its complexity.

Key Press is really usefull, but unfortunately it's name is not translated in the object catalog. Could someone fix this, please.

This was fixed already, but we need to build a new image, which as a byproduct generates new POT templates (via "GetTextExporter exportTemplate").
