how do we call out cursor keys with puzzles when checking for keyboard input?

like the use of “a” or “d”, I’ve tried “up”, didn’t work

Thanks

Hi Brian,

These keys are code-named “ArrowDown”, “ArrowLeft”, “ArrowRight”, “ArrowUp”.

Here are more keys:

Hmm, doesn’t seem to be working in puzzles, the (w, a, s, d) work fine.

The keycode “21” doesn’t work either.

In the Puzzles’ library category there is a bundle for arrow controls – can you check if it works for you?

I changed my puzzle to use keypress to keydown and now it works (weird thing is for all the other keys I was using I used keypress and it works fine)

Thanks

Yeah, for some reason arrow keys are only triggered by keydown/keyup, they are ignored by keypress. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2606
