Hello there, these days I use the classic INKEY$ for my classic Boulder Dash clone. I wonder why the program slows down significantly when I hold down a key. The INKEY$ itself seems to be harmless when no key is pressed. The program slows down too if I press a key that is not in use and not being asked by the program itself. I would be happy about some help. Please make sample programs as short as possible! Thanks, Markus
