Is There A Way To Hide a Window and Have Input?

-----------------------------------

Here is my code:


Window.Hide (defWinID)
var msg : string
loop
    get msg : *
end loop


This must be possible! Maybe just not in Turing?

Correct.  Turing cannot recieve input from a hidden Window.

Which is why you might want to consider another language in the future (C++ is teh roxxor).  Anyhow, on an unrelated note, my dad was born in Kirkland Lake :P

Well I have Dev C++ Bloodshed or something downloaded, and it takes a few seconds to open up, I tried the tutorial and it was boring, and it's like all GUI stuff and like no programming. Well that's what I found. I like just pure coding, like Turing, Ready to Program, or Python.

Ready to Program?

You wouldn't by any chance be referring to Java, would you? No, couldn't be. Those aren't the same things.

If you want a new language to learn, and you liked Python, you'd probably like Ruby. Or, if you really want a challenge, a mind stretch, and possibly a brain explosion, try O'Caml. It will open your mind to programming concepts that deviate wonderfully from the realm of imperative languages like C or Turing.
