Standard library method for getting a character from keyboard input?
Hello --
(Keeping individual issues separate for organization purposes.)
Is there an easy way to get keyboard input with Cowgol? I have a Brainfuck to Cowgol transpiler: https://github.com/ibara/cowgol-utilities/blob/main/bfc.cow but it is missing an implementation for the comma operator since I could not figure out how to get keyboard input. It otherwise works perfectly fine.
Thanks!
I've not thought about this yet --- honestly, the standard library needs a lot of work. There are decisions to make about things like buffering. The whole console I/O layer needs reworking, and renaming all those print_ methods to something else. Right now there's only just enough functionality to run the compiler toolchain itself.
What platforms are you mainly aiming at?
