hi

im trying to write kinda a text editor. the problem is if i use the input command then i need to press enter before i can read what was pressed. if i want to read which character the user typed everytime something is typed how do i do that?

i kinda sucks to have to press enter after each character is pressed in a text editor.


in theory

do

check which key was press, store in char$
if char$ <> 0 then process_input()

loop

You can either use the INKEY$() function, or the ENTRY$() function with CLEAR ENTRY BUFFER

You can find an example of the ENTRY$() way here : http://developer.thegamecreators.com/?m=codebase_view_code&i=4c2ab9b620f37a56011f61e34c261fcc
