New Keyboard Routines for AGD 5 Editors

Testing more code for AGD 5. Typing has never been easy on a Spectrum because the keyboard routines were only designed to read a single key at once. The editors in AGD 5 will make use of more sophisticated routines designed to speed up the entire process, enabling touch typing

Nice, can’t wait to give this a go.

Looking forward to writing something with this :)

impressive

[@stevesgaming7475]

Wow!!!! That alone is a huge improvement! Can we pay to get our hands on the beta? haha I'd be happy to do it. Well done, can't wait to see more.

I'll be looking for feedback from a few early users prior to release. If you want to help test this tool send me a private message on World of Spectrum or the AGD forums and I'll send you a test version once it's in a reasonable state.

Hi Jonathan, do you think it would be possible to make a beat em up like Target Renegade/Kung Fu Master or a 1v1 fighting game with your engine? I imagine it would require a hell of a lot of scriptin in the background?

Any updates on this Jonathan? :)

[@jonathancauldwell9822]

I'm extremely busy (and stressed!) with work at the moment and my development laptop is playing up too. I want to get this out in some form so folks can play with it and give me some feedback before a full 128K ROM release. It's not far from a form in which I can release a test version but life is getting in the way at present. Very sorry but I'm doing my best. I'll get some sort of test version out as soon as I can.
