Hi, I have written a game in Java in which the player can move a character using WASD. The problem I am having is that every now and then one of they keys will 'stick'. whenever a keypressed event occurs it is checked againt the control keys and a boolean is set to true if one of them has been pressed, and on a keyreleased event it is set to false. The problem seems worse on slower machines so I think the problem is that it is missing keyreleased events sometimes due to the high number of key events. There are very many because every time the keyboard automatically repeats a key press for the user when they hold a key down it generates a new keypressed event, which floods the key processor. Does anybody know a way that I can just get it to report the first time a key is pressed to take the strain off the game? Or perhaps something else that may be causing this? Thanks
