In the Creatures games, keycodes are integers used in scripts that represent which keyboard keys are pressed.

For example, in the Creatures Evolution Engine, event numbers 73 (Raw Key Down) and 74 (Raw Key Up) are passed a keycode in _P1_.

Keycodes map to Windows Virtual-Key Codes. If a script needs text, it should use event 79 (Raw Translated Char) instead.
