Okay could you people please finally stop making games that require the Z and Y key for heaven’s sake?
Games are just NOT playable if you DO NOT have an English keyboard. Thanks a lot.

Does anybody even make games that use the Z and Y key? I would understand if it was Z and X, but Z and Y? On my Qwerty keyboard, the Y key is like 6 keys away from the X key. I think you mean Z and X. Well, anyway. In my game, in which Z and X is default, you'll be able to switch controls so it doesn't matter... gof

It's a german keyboard. I give Y the same action as Z when I use Z/X input now because they're a nation of whingers.

Just switch the language settings in the system tray. I have to do that on my laptop, as I'm all pretentious and use Dvorak on that.

Better yet, allow the player to choose what keys to use.

@Dalal :“Does anybody even make games that use the Z and Y key”

No I am sorry- you are right.
I meant the Z and X key.

There are games that use the Z and X key.
The Misadventures of Sigfreid the Dark Elf on Tues by Shroomlock http://www2.create-games.com/download.asp?id=5961 uses this controls for example.

@♦♣♠legendkpr♠♣ϗ: You probably have never seen such a keyboard because you are British, American, Australian or whatever- it’s a German keyboard.
If you compare a German keyboard to an English keyboard its not too different besides the fact that the Y and Z keys are switched WHICH IS MY PROBLEM and that I have got Ö Ä Ü and ß
Now check out what a FRENCH keyboard looks like
The position of the keys is totally different compared to an English keyboard (which makes sense of course)

@ David Newton (Wong): Yeh that’s a great idea and I have thought about that my self.
There used to be this little box saying DE (German) which I could switch to EN (for English) I found it to be annoying and closed it though. SO where is the option located for switching to an English keyboard?

If you're in XP it's under "Regional and Language Options" in Control Panel.

I find the German keyboard pretty normal, as I had to use it during summers in Germany when I was younger. The French keyboard is patently insane, however - a particular favourite is trying to type the URL for Amazon on it without looking.
