Help with Delphi Console Keypress

(1/2) > >>

CodeTRUCKER:
I was looking to test out an app idea with the Delphi Console Keypress (or whatever it is) and was interested in some opinions.  The reason I want to use the "console" is because it is a game for the blind.

mouser:
dont make a console application; make a form, then you can catch all the keystrokes in a nice event.

CodeTRUCKER:
Alright, no console.  Anyone else want to chime in?

app103:
It can have a GUI.

Just be sure you close your eyes before hitting F9 in Delphi and don't open them again till you have hit alt+F4, when testing your game.

Then you will know if it is acceptable or not.  ;)

CodeTRUCKER:

BTW - Can you tell me why any string def I use will not allow more then 255 chars?  This even happens when I declare the following...

var
      Longstring: AnsiString;

It's supposed to take 2GB, but I keep getting the error saying it can only have 255?  Weird.
