SFLM input problem

[i2Fluffy]

I am writing Pong using SFML and am having a small problem with the input. When I press "W" which makes the paddle go up, it goes up 10 pixels then delays for like half a second and then goes up smoothly. If possible I would like to get rid of the delay. Below is the code that is causing this problem:

while(win.IsOpened( ))
	{

	        while(win.GetEvent(event))
		{

			switch(event.Type)
			{

				case (sf::Event::Closed):
					win.Close();
					break;

					//---------- W ----------

				case (event.KeyPressed):
					if(event.Key.Code == sf::Key::W)
					{
						//move paddle up
					}

					//---------- S ----------

					if(event.Key.Code == sf::Key::S)
					{
						//move paddle down
					}
					break;
			}
		}

I am trying to change that to something like the code below to make the movement more smooth when a key is held down. The only problem is this does not work. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

bool w = false;
bool s = false;

while(win.IsOpened( ))
	{

		while(win.GetEvent(event))
		{

			switch(event.Type)
			{

				case (sf::Event::Closed):
					win.Close();
					break;

					//---------- W ----------

				case (event.KeyPressed):
					if(event.Key.Code == sf::Key::W)
					{
						w = true;
					}

					//---------- S ----------

					if(event.Key.Code == sf::Key::S)
					{
						s = true;
					}
					break;


				case (event.KeyReleased):
					if(event.Key.Code == sf::Key::S)
					{
						s = false;
					}

					if(event.Key.Code == sf::Key::W)
					{
						w = false;
					}
					break;		
			}
		}

Thanks,
Nick

You have the right idea with setting your 'w' and 's' variables to true/false.

All you have to do after that is move the paddle based on the state of those vars. You should check them once per frame -- the same time you move the ball and do other game logic.

sorry, I actually had something like that but it wasn't working. I figured it out now though.
Thanks,
