Actually, termios.tcflush(sys.stdin, termios.TCIFLUSH)
might be a better choice than curses.flushinp()
if you don't already have curses initialized.
@jquast Any thoughts on this?
keys pressed while an animation is playing [...] will be queued up for delivery by the next Terminal.inkey, instead of inkey blocking for a new key as intended
I think we disagree, here! I think this default behavior is best :)
I can prevent this by calling curses.flushinp() before each inkey. Perhaps blessed should have an equivalent of flushinp, as its own method or as a parameter of inkey.
flushinp would be trivial to implement as a loop by calling Terminal.inkey(timeout=0)
:
import blessed, time
def flushinp(t):
gathered = []
while toss := t.inkey(timeout=0):
gathered.append(toss)
return gathered
t = blessed.Terminal()
print('Go ahead, type some input, Ill wait for 3 seconds')
with t.raw():
time.sleep(3)
gathered = flushinp(t)
print("\r\nHere's what I flushed", gathered)
print("\r\nNow... press any key to exit")
t.inkey()
We could implement that as method Terminal.flushinp() (or as keyword argument flush=True to inkey, if you rather), if it is helpful to avoid importing curses. But I just wanted to show it is also very easy to do with the inkey method, using timeout=0 argument.
I really like the game, by the way !!!

Oh, cool. I didn't think of that. Thanks.
I think adding a flush = True
would make sense and help other users, but I'm happy to use an inkey(timeout=0)
loop for now.

Glad to hear it! I hope to make the first playable release around the end of the month.
I'm making good progress on a game using blessed, but I noticed that keys pressed while an animation is playing (i.e. during
time.sleep
) or during slow processing will be queued up for delivery by the nextTerminal.inkey
, instead ofinkey
blocking for a new key as intended. I can prevent this by callingcurses.flushinp()
before eachinkey
. Perhaps blessed should have an equivalent offlushinp
, as its own method or as a parameter ofinkey
