What exactly is the difference between synchronous readkey and asynchronous? Are you trying to read keys from the keyboard? > 2. How would I delay the movement of something? When I use Delay(250), it > delays the whole program. In VB, I would write this: Normally I would use a timer. Set it´s interval property to the desired delay, set it's execute event to point to a method and set it's Enable to True when needed. On the execute method would be something like: MyTimer. Enabled := False; // Code to be executed but I think this requires Lazarus LCL to be used. If you want something to execute without halting the main program and can't use a Timer component, then you really should think about using a separate Thread from this.
