    <p>I have an example of what I have got so far <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/HelloJoe/8NW2K/" rel="nofollow">here (example 1)</a>, you'll need to click on the 'result' window so the keys will move the character (w, a, s and d keys move the character), also bear in mind that this has not been browser tested and only works in a select few modern browsers.</p> <p>I can now get the image to move up/down/left/right as wanted and depending on the 'health' it moves a particular speed, and using a good <a href="http://metatroid.com/articles/CSS3%20transforms%20-%20rotate%20image%20with%20mouse" rel="nofollow">example I found</a> it rotates along with the mouse too, so it works in a birds eye view styled game.</p> <p>Now, I'm a little confused about how I can get the image to move diagonally, I've tried using multiple <code>if</code> statements linking the possible combinations of keys, but it always takes the last key pressed.</p> <p>I don't really know how to tackle the problem, do I need to put them in some sort of <code>while</code> loop to say while a certain key is pressed move it in that direction? Would that eliminate the need for the diagonal/multiple key press?</p> <pre><code> if ((key == key_W &amp;&amp; key == key_D) || (key == key_w &amp;&amp; key == key_d) || (key == key_W &amp;&amp; key == key_d) || (key == key_w &amp;&amp; key == key_D)) { // Player Up/Right } </code></pre> <p>Or do I need to set some sort of array to generate a list of keys pressed?</p> <p>I understand and I'm fully aware making games in Javascript/jQuery isn't the best method to make games, it's an experiment more than anything.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>There is now have a more workable, moving character <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/HelloJoe/8NW2K/5/" rel="nofollow">here (example 2)</a>, but there is a delay in the movement, so to expand on my question, is there anyway to reduce this?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
