Newcomers AppGameKit Corner / "GetLastChar()" does not register [Enter]? (assuming it's ascii code #13)

Hi,

I am trying to see if [Enter] key was pressed on Linux but I can't seem to get it working?
I use the following source code:
------------------------------------------------------------------
if GetLastChar() = 13
// Do something!
endif
------------------------------------------------------------------

Should the above work to detect [Enter] key on keyboard pressed?
Thanks!

If you are trying to detect [Enter] as a kind of 'Press Enter key to continue' thing, then you maybe better off using GetRawKeyState()

Enter is sometimes represented by cr + lf (carriage return plus line feed). This will be char(13) + char(10)

As Prof says, better to look at the key than any characters produced by pressing it.
