[Haskell-cafe] [Haskell Cafe] ASCII Graphics Library wanted

[Peter Verswyvelen]

As mentioned in a previous thread that you might have missed, in case you're
on Windows, and you want to use unbuffered raw keyboard input, this is
currently broken.
But a quick workaround is to wrap the DOS/Windows conio functions, like
this:

-- | Read the next character from the console's input queue.
--   This is a blocking operation if no key is queued.
getCh :: IO Char
getCh = fmap (toEnum.fromIntegral) c_getch
foreign import ccall unsafe "conio.h getch" c_getch :: IO CInt

-- | Check if at least one key is queued.
kbHit :: IO Bool
kbHit = fmap (/=0) c_kbhit
foreign import ccall unsafe "conio.h kbhit" c_kbhit :: IO CInt
