hello,
does anyone know how to read the keyboard buffer/ or keyboard scan codes with Qbasic.
why ?
I want to read different paralel inputs from a inputdevice ( cheap solutions only so i'am tring the keyboard at the moment)
other tips on i/o interface & sample code welcome !
I assume you don't *really* want to read the keyboard buffer ... if you do, you want to use INKEY$ .
For example:
<tt>
DO
PRINT INKEY$;
LOOP
</tt>
INKEY$ returns null ( "" ) if there's nothing on the buffer. The buffer limit is (iirc) 13. The following clears the buffer:
FOR T = 1 TO 15
a$ = INKEY$
NEXT T
