Print("press esc 5 times to quit!") eschits=5 While(eschits) If(KeyHit(1)) eschits=eschits-1 Print "Esc Hit" Wend If eschits=0 End When I compile this and run the program. The first line is there along with a blank prompt for the second. Any idea why it doesnt work? |

this works perfectly, but yours doesn't!?Graphics 640,480,16 Text(0, 0, "press esc 5 times to quit!") Flip eschits=5 y=20 LoopExit=0 FlushKeys While eschits ;escape key quits If (KeyHit (1)) Then Text (0,y, "Esc Hit") y=y+20 eschits=eschits-1 Flip EndIf Wend ;If eschits=0 End |

By the way, your code should have been organized like this:Print("press esc 5 times to quit!") eschits=5 While(eschits) If KeyHit(1) eschits=eschits-1 Print "Esc Hit" EndIf Wend End(You were missing an EndIf, and the 'If eschits=0' line was unnecessary) But I believe the reason it doesn't work, is because KeyHit and KeyDown are intended to be used in a 'graphical' app (meaning using the Graphics command). So either use the Graphics command, or you will have to use something like Input, GetKey, or WaitKey. |
