To check one special key, use this commands:

initkeyboard()

;inits and co.

;start-mainloop

examinekeyboard()
if keyboardpushed(#PB_Key_Space)
  ;do this, after key-space was pushed
endif

;end-mainloop

Remember when you use the above InitKeyboard(), ExamineKeyboard(), etc.. DirectX v7+ must be installed! You can use the Win32 API to avoid the need of having DX installed. See: viewtopic.php?t=9437 I think there was a native command added in v3.90 to do this, check the history.txt file and Reference.

you would probably have to use somethign like this:

Code: Select all

a.l = 0
Repeat

  ExamineKeyboard()
  If KeyboardPushed(#PB_KEY_SPACE)
    a +1
  EndIf
Until KeyboardPushed(#PB_KEY_ESCAPE)

note: I don't think this will only work if you open a (windowed)screen..
