os_wait_for_key

Waits for keypress and returns key

Example:

; can be used to halt program execution until user presses a key
call os_wait_for_key

os_check_for_key

Scans keyboard for input, but doesn't wait

Example:

; Can be used to check for different keys and act accordingly
; and yes the scan codes are correct for SCAN SET 1.
; For SCAN SETS 2 & 3, the "1" = 16h and the "2" = 1Eh
; Some USB keyboards map the "1" = 1Eh and the "2" = 1Fh

Get_Option_Key:

              call os_check_for_key
              cmp ax, 2                 ; check if the "1" key was pressed
              jz One_was_Pressed

              cmp ax, 3                 ; check if the "2" key was pressed
              jz Two_Was_Pressed

              jmp Get_Option_Key        ; none of the options pressed so loop

One_was_Pressed:

              ; code goes here for when the "1" key is pressed
              jmp Main_Loop

Two_was_Pressed:

              ; code goes here for when the "2" key is pressed
              jmp Main_Loop
