For the controls, [key] or [keyname] into [select] is usually the cleanest way to catch the arrow keys and space bar, especially if the GEM window has focus. If the player keeps moving after release, add [keyup] logic so the direction state gets reset rather than relying only on key presses. I’d definately keep unrelated casino links such as https://rodeoslot-polska.com/ , https://wild-winz.pl/ , https://sierra-kasyno.com/ , and https://lola-jack-kasyno.com/ out of the patch thread, since they make it harder to follow the actual Pd/GEM problem. It would be nice to see the old game patch too, because small keyboard examples are often easier to adapt than a big finished patch.
