is_counting + is_sequence?

[xiaoli]

code below:

{
          "keys"          : "up up down down left right left right b a enter",
          "is_exclusive"  : true,
          "is_counting"   : true,
          "is_sequence"   : true,
          "is_ordered"    : true,
          "on_keydown"    : function(e, count) {
            switch (count) {
              case 1:
                console.log('Want 30 lives? Please try again :)');
                break;
              case 2:
                console.log('No luck still. One more time? :D');
                break;
              case 3:
              default:
                console.log('Tried 3 times already.');
                break;
            }
            return false;
          }
}

I can't get the count of the combo. Am I missing something here?

Thanks for the great work of this library, save me a lot of time :)

The counting combos are kind of their own thing that is different from a sequence combo; they aren't able to mix. A counting combo requires that a key is held down the entire time (as on the demo page) , it's kind of a strange functionality that you probably don't need (I just wanted it for my game). What you want to do is very simple though:

var cheat_code_count = 0;
{
          "keys"          : "up up down down left right left right b a enter",
          "is_exclusive"  : true,
          "is_counting"   : true,
          "is_sequence"   : true,
          "is_ordered"    : true,
          "on_keydown"    : function(e) {
            cheat_code_count += 1
            switch (cheat_code_count) {
              case 1:
                console.log('Want 30 lives? Please try again :)');
                break;
              case 2:
                console.log('No luck still. One more time? :D');
                break;
              case 3:
              default:
                console.log('Tried 3 times already.');
                break;
            }
            return false;
          }
}

It's very easy to track that count yourself. The counting combos are for a very specific case which would be very complex for someone to track without the help of the library.

Thanks for the kind words though, and good luck with your project!
