Inputting numbers?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Inputting numbers?

I was annoyed by input not working outside the console initally. but a few mins later and I had a useable input routine for graphics work. (I wanted to use input as a test to other routines.)

Personally, think of it a bit like c, scanf is crap (yes it can be useful in some situations) but generally you need a to use getc in a loop to get useable input! which involves writing the routine to do it.

Personally I prefer to write my own input routine based on character by character that way it is far easier limit what keys can be used!

just my tuppence worth anyway
