I am making a simple pong game for a computer science project,
using a couple of tasks for the ball and paddles. It is run with
vt100 emulation, and uses the keyboard to control the paddles,
specifically with text_io.get_immediate.
My question: Is there any way to get input from a keyboard
without the input appearing on the screen when the key is pressed?
The solution so far has been to overwrite the input character with a
space immediately after it is pressed, but along with appearing on the
screen for a split second, if the user presses a key that inputs
several characters of trash onto the screen at once (like the arrow
keys) only the last character will be overwritten.
Solutions/suggestions?
