How to scan for keypresses?

[Unregistered]

All I need to explore a plethora of possibilities is to know how on earth to scan for keypresses?

I mean sort of like

while(1) {
if (keypressed)
move(UP);
}

...so I can make realtime games/apps.

Is this included in ncurses?

STDIN_FILENO is the file descriptor of your terminal you are manipulating. This is usually 0 for your terminal.

Ok Im using this kbhit function that was made here, but there is one problem. Rather than just returning true or false if a key was hit it just stays there and waits in the function freezing up the program until a key is pressed. HELP PLEASE
