Java Slick: Keyboard Input

I'm doing my own input window with slick, user will need to type something into this. But when I type any letter I get more than one. I assume it depends on CPU, my current bypass is to sleep thread for 100 ms whenever I type. Is there any other way to do this and get only one letter ?

This is my code

    if (input.isKeyDown(Input.KEY_0)) {
        IPInput += "0";
        try {
            Thread.sleep(100);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
Solution

  • Based off of my comment....

    You can substitute isKeyPressed() in for isKeyDown().

    KeyPress - triggered when the user presses a key and releases it (key down and then key up)

    KeyDown - triggered when the user presses the key (key down)
