So yeah, trying to make a sequence that halts everything until you hit a key. Now, this works fine except for that hideous flashing box.

How can I get rid of said box? I've tried Input.Pause and getch but it still remains : /

code:

setscreen("nocursor")


If that doesn't work, its something along those lines.

It would be much preferred for you to use View.Set() over setcreen(). If you have a question as to why, check out my tutorial on View.Set() in the Turing Walkthrough.

haha, I can't find the "any key".

Sorry...

for keyboard input you could just use
Turing:
Input.Flush  % Erases any previous information on pressed keys
loop
    % anything else here
    exit when hasch  % checks to see if any key is pressed
end loop
