     I'm writing a program that has two main objects--your ship which you can
move, and enemies that are supposed to appear at certain intervals depending
on which board your on.  So I set it up like this.


MainLoop:
  load number that determines interval from memory into de


    GetKeyLoop:
    call getkey
     compare it with certain keys.  if it is one of those keys call the
function that
     corresponds to that key (e.g. move up)
     decrement de
      load   0   into hl
      call CP_HL_DE
       jr nz,GetKeyLoop


  create an enemy
  jr MainLoop


Of course, this is stupid.  The interval between the enemies being created
varies according to how many keys the user pushes because the functions
invoked by those keys take time.  I am having a hard time seeing a solution
to this.  PLEASE HELP ME!!!!


Thanx,
EJ
