is there a way to use get without pausing everything else? I tried making a procedure and then calling get in it, but it still pauses it. the only other way I can think of is making a new get procedure by using keys and stuff, I could do it but I was wondering if there was an easier way? |

Maybe if you put it in a process then used fork.

I don't understand that fork does ![]() |

"Fork" just makes a process run seperate so that you can have other stuff going on at the same time. Check out Turing Help for more info. ![]() |

The general concensus is to avoid using processes and forks in your programs. read up on the advanced input tutorial and also in general Input.KeyDown then F9 (turing's reference). |

what has that got to do with using a get that doesn't pause? |

Perhaps if you'd read the tutorial, its about input. What is get? its input. Check out this old typing game I made with Input.KeyDown. This requires getting the user's input without pausing the game. Get it? |

I aldready considered that and I posted in my title, it would take a bit of coding and 1 line would be much easier if not much more efficient, but I guess it's the only way |

easy and how you do something aren't always the same. So what if it's more then one line, write a procedure! You probably should be doing so anyways. If you ask for help don't complain because the answers given are "too hard" or are "more then a line". |

sorry but I was looking for a build in turing procedure because mine might be less efficient.. |

Its ok. But you have to realize that turing is not meant for that sort of thing. Turing is a learning language, where you should build everything from scratch, and you're only given a few things for you to work with. Things like C++ have huge amounts pre-made things that comes in its libraries. Have fun being creative! ![]() |

okay thx I finished it, it works pretty good with the exception of the little black boxy thingy ![]() |

Or, A much simpler way would be to use:

Hmm? That still pauses. If you want to use getch/getchar, you need to wrap it in an if hasch statement:
Although, this would be better if instead of having a delay, you had a loop that accepted input. (Think: what happens if you press a key while the delay is on, then lift the key before the key is lifted?)
