Re: A83: Re: Ti-Files...?




Assuming that it is the same as the 85/86, the GET_KEY command is like the
getkey function in TI-BASIC.  It reads all keys (except on), including 2nd
and doesn't pause.  _GETKEY goes into low-power-mode until a key is pressed.
It sets the contrast, handles 2nd and alpha, and returns a different key
depending on if 2nd/alpha was pressed.  It also supports APD, whereas
GET_KEY does not.  GET_KEY is useful when reading keys for a game (though
it's almost always better to read the ports directly), and _GETKEY for input
to a non-realtime application, or when waiting for a keypress to continue
(like a title screen).
