-86 Key Code Diagram

When

getKy

is encountered in a program, it returns a number

corresponding to the last key pressed, according to the key code
diagram to the right. If no key has been pressed,

getKy

returns

.

Use

getKy

inside loops to transfer control, such as when you

create a video game.

This program returns the key code of each key you press.

:Float
:0¶A
:Lbl TOP
:getKy¶A
:If A>0
:Disp A
:Goto TOP

To break (interrupt) the program, press ^ and then press *.
