Hi guys, I'm making a text-based side scroller, and to do so I need to get non-blocking keyboard input to the console.

The windows version of the game uses the GetAsyncKeyState( ) command from the windows api, so I was wondering if there was some sort of equivalent function on the OS X side of things?

Thanks much Smile

Couldn't you just use getch, getc, or getchar?

Nope, those block. I haven't gotten this working myself, but try the ncurses man page.
