## About
|
||||
|
||||
The ```char_in``` function is one of the built in functions in ROM. It checks, if a key is
|
||||
currently pressed, and returns the key code in Register A.
|
||||
|
||||
## Parameters
|
||||
The ```char_in``` function is called through addresses 0xBE53 or 0x8881 and takes no
|
||||
input parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
## Return values
|
||||
It returns the key-code of the pressed key in Register A. If no keypress was detected, A is 0.
|
||||
To indicate, that a key was pressed the carry-flag is also set. When no keypress was detected,
|
||||
the carry flag is cleared. This allows for easy checking if a key is pressed.
|
||||
If more than one key was pressed at a time, A will contain 0x52, or -if SHIFT was addionally
|
||||
pressed- 0xD2.
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
Every key has a unique keycode, that identifies the key that was pressed.
|
||||
The only key without a keycode, is the shift key. Of the shift-key is pressed and held with any
|
||||
other key, the most significant bit is set in A, adding 0x80 to each keycode. The only key
|
||||
unaffected by this, is the ON/BREAK key, which always has a keycode of 51.

## Example
|
||||
|
||||
The folowing example is a simple polling routine. It runs in an endless loop, and
|
||||
displays the key code, of the last key pressed, as a hex-value. Pressing ON/BREAK
|
||||
will end the program gracefully.
|
||||
|
||||
