    Question How to scan for keypresses?

    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
