only if totally stupid, antiquated asc() function were like the one in freebasic.
the antiquated function really might be inkey$. cannot rely on it obviously. in a game with 3d graphics. or anything really which supports a player's "sharp senses."
don't use sleep in this programming system. there wouldn't be a need for _keyclear and other antics. only to clear the keyboard buffer. when there's no need to know what was the key pressed.
i haven't checked lately. but there was a time. when sleep consumed serious cpu cycles when left to its own in the "mainwin."
