I'm wondering how to check all keys in an efficient way using keyboard.isDown and joystick.isDown. I know these functions take multiple parameters but having to include all keys/buttons, especially the keyboard seems really awkward to me.

It might be a better idea to use love.keypressed instead and just ignore the argument.

EDIT: or do this:

Code: Select all

local nkeysdown = 0

function love.keypressed(key, u)
    nkeysdown = nkeysdown + 1
    -- the rest of love.keypressed
end

function love.keyreleased(key, u)
    nkeysdown = nkeysdown - 1
    -- the rest of love.keyreleased
end

And then instead of having something like if love.keyboard.isDown(any) then, you do if nkeysdown > 0 then.

Ah, yes that makes sense, thanks!
