Scan the keyboard and joystick for cursor key or stick movement, and return the result as deltas (changes) in x- and y-coordinates as follows: * For joystick, X and Y are integers between -2 and +2 depending on how far the stick has moved * For keyboard, X and Y are integers between -1 and +1 depending on which keys are pressed
Returns: A The key pressed, if the arrow keys were used X Change in the x-coordinate according to the cursor keys being pressed or joystick movement, as an integer (see above) Y Change in the y-coordinate according to the cursor keys being pressed or joystick movement, as an integer (see above)
Other entry points: TJ1 Check for cursor key presses and return the combined deltas for the digital joystick and cursor keys (Master Compact only)
