a pressing problem.

many of you have played various
games in pico and have come
across that one game with the
dreaded btnp() function used
instead of btn().

for action games like
platformers or shooters, you
should =never= use btnp() and i
can think of a few shooters
i've played that use btnp()
making it difficult to maintain
auto-fire and movement at the
same time.

what's the difference ?

btn() reads a raw keystroke, it
does not wait for key repeat
and is perfect for action games.

btnp() reads like a standard
keyboard. it will allow one
press, then nothing, then
slowly repeat the stroke.

so btn() is good for action
games, and btnp() is better for
thinking puzzle games.

hope this helps !
