Drukman and Shooter Unearthed!

I tried the diagonals, but the vertical movement speed was doubled if you pushed both up-left and up, for example. I could not find a way to prevent this. You can move diagonally by pushing two direction keys at once.

Cargo bays give you 50 points.

Click on Gauntlet and see. It is a game mode similar to Ed Marshall's shooter, where the game consists of ever-increasing numbers of enemy ships and the goal is to survive as long as you can.

Um, can't you use boolean conditions to prevent that problem?

Code:

---

if (keyPressed(NUMPAD_7))

{

  // exclusive or

  if (keyPressed(NUMPAD_8) ^^ !keyPressed(NUMPAD_4))

  {

    vx = -sqrt(2);

    vy = -sqrt(2);

  }

  else if (keyPressed(NUMPAD_8))

  {

    vx = 0;

    vy = -1;

  }

  else if (keyPressed(NUMPAD_4))

  {

    vx = -1;

    vy = 0;

  }

}

...

The problem is that I don't know how to apply it to Game Maker.
