Console-Input

Allows for cross-platform reading of keypresses with a simple header file. Contains a very small test application to print out the key code of a given key and the character for it. Nothing has to be built - the file you are looking for is console-input.h in the Source folder!

What to use

• There is a single file, console-input.h, that can be found in the source folder. All you need to do is include this in a project!

Building the example

• Build on *nix with Build.sh or by running Build/premake5 gmake
• Build Test on windows for VS2015 using Build.bat or by running Build/premake5 vs2015
• If you think all of that is a bit much, you can just use the command line g++ main.cpp -o example.

Usage

• Just copy console-input.h into your project directory, and include it with #include "console-input.h"
• Check if a key was hit with KeyHit(), Get the key in question with GetChar()
• Works in C and C++
