How do I get the mouse location? I don't really want to use the mouseMoved events, as I have one place in which I need to know where the mouse is at that instant, and thus it seems to be a place for query-driven mousing instead of event-driven. And, there's no NSMouse object ([NSMouse whereAmI] hehe)

I don't know about Cocoa, but there's always Carbon's GetMouse() function.

Thanks.

Is there a similar thing for keys? NSEvent doesn't seem to have any more. Key repeat delays are screwing with my game...

Just keep an array of which keys are pressed, set the appropriate element to true when a key goes down and to false when the key comes back up again.

How do I get key up events, then?

If you're using the standard NSResponder stuff, override -keyUp:

Ok, I don't understand something here. When I looked for the documentation on keyUp, I saw that there was a corresponding keyDown method. I was previously using performKeyEquivalent. Why does keyDown not work? It just beeps at me...

Have you set the receiving view as first responder?

You need to become the first responder.

check to make sure that your view is the first responder.

Heh, nice timing... Thanks. That did it. I'll try the array idea now...

Is there a better method than BOOL keyArray[65536]? Do I have to cover every unichar?

If you use keyCodes, there are only 128... but really you only need remember the state of keys you care about. I generally do it as an array of "game inputs" rather than as an array of keys.
