You can't read that key with `readkey', so the auto-repeat is 
irrelevant.  What you're reading, I assume, is the `key' array 
which just shows the current state of the key.  You probably 
want to watch out for the time when the key wasn't pressed in 
the last game cycle but is pressed in the next one, and fire 
only at that time.
