    GameMaker Punctuation keyboard_check

    How can I use keyboard_check, _pressed and _released with punctuation symbols, such as , . / ; ' [ ] - = ..? In the manual, it said to use "keyboard_lastchar", but I think that'll only work with pushing the button, and I also want to register when you release that button. How do I do this?

    Keyboard input not recognized for specific key combination

    Hi all, I was trying to work through some issues with multi-directional firing in a crude Gauntlet-style prototype I'm building over the holidays.
