What is your keyboard's dead combination?

What I am referring are movements that your keyboard cannot tolerate. For instance, mine is UP+LEFT+SPACE, it won't register in EE.

What's yours?

Re: What is your keyboard's dead combination?

Well my left key only registers like half the time I press it, but I can't really think of any specific combinations

You can't press 2 arrow keys + space, but you can press 2 letters(AWSD) + space.

I thought mine was like this too, but using the thing goeyfun posted, it seems that only up+left+space doesn't work.

Re: What is your keyboard's dead combination?

It all depends whether you have a mechanical keyboard really. Mechanical keyboards can handle as many inputs as you press.

Re: What is your keyboard's dead combination?

Ive always thought about using a program (I forget the name) and a game controler to play EE, but never really got around to it.

Re: What is your keyboard's dead combination?

Cheap keyboards can't handle up+left+space, it's called ghosting: http://www.microsoft.com/appliedscience … ained.mspx

That's why you should learn to play with WASD. Or buy a proper keyboard, but WASD is always recommended anyway.

You don't need to be, you can get used to it. I play tons of games with WASD. However, I think it would be harder to play EE with WASD. I've tried it before and I found it a lot harder.

I wonder if it would it make anything easier if we could press UP or W to jump.

No, we need to press ^/W to climb things, keep space to jump, but add a additional jump button, sometimes the spacebar doesn't work well.

It would still let you climb.  If you were on a dot/rope/ladder/water/whateverelsewedecidetoadd it would just make you move up, if you were on a block, you would jump.

I can predict this will leave many problems, and there are bots that detect jumps and move ups differently.

Re: What is your keyboard's dead combination?

Turn off numlock and use 8/4 or 8/6 for up/left and up/right.
I can't use wasd for ee because it doesn't feel right so i use arrows and my keyboard can't do up/right/space.

Because most games are played with WASD because there are more buttons surrounding them for easy access to other functions.

I'm not a lefty either. It took me a while to get used to playing WASD, but once I did, I noticed I got a lot better.

Re: What is your keyboard's dead combination?

If you're very skilled, you will never need to use up+left/right+space. The only keys that do anything, are one of the sideways directions (relative to the direction of gravity) and jump. So if you're quick, you can just use two buttons, and just switch which two buttons you're pressing when you need to.

Thats usually what I have to do to do some of the more complex minis.

Re: What is your keyboard's dead combination?

My keyboard can handle 5 buttons at once so I don't really have a problem with dead combos. I do, however, still use WASD almost religiously. The only time I'll switch to the arrow keys is if I need to mash space. It's much nicer to play with a free hand, so you can draw/move at the same time really easily.
