Hi, Does anyone know how to handle simultaneous key presses in GLUT? For example, I want my character to move diagonally if "w" and "d" are pressed together. Thanks

- disable key repeat (glutIgnoreKeyRepeat(1))
- when a key is pressed (glutKeyboardFunc), set a value to 1 in an array
- when a key is released (glutKeyboardUpFunc), set the value to 0
- in your main loop, test for the combinations you want

"Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." — Brian W. Kernighan
