You're right. I don't need it anymore. keyinput was being used before
to make it so that more than one key could be pressed to move the
character. I gave up due to minor bugs in my code and forgot to remove
that little bit. What I would like to do:

Right now if you are holding a directional key to move, and you press a
different directional key at the same time, the player will stop,
instead of changing directions. If anyone could give me some pointers
on how to do this I'd be very happy, because I want it to be
gamepad-friendly too.

Aha, nice. Thanks!
