Input

[olls]

There needs a way to get non blocking input from the user, so you can tell if a key is being pressed. This will make the graphics module much more useful for making interactive programs or games.

I might use it, can I use the input from curses without setting up the whole curses setup. It seems a bit dumb to import a huge graphics library into my own module, which is meant to be a graphics module, just to use one tiny part...

I don't know, but don't you think your first comment was a bit premature?

Added nbinput.py file based off an answer from this stack overflow. This allows you to run a function which returns a key being pressed without blocking the code or outputting in the terminal, this only works in the Linux terminal. 4c9b4ae07de1986c6144069730b587eb70a9fe1d
