As mentioned in a previous thread that you might have missed, in case you're on Windows, and you want to use unbuffered raw keyboard input, this is currently broken. But a quick workaround is to wrap the DOS/Windows conio functions, like this: -- | Read the next character from the console's input queue. -- This is a blocking operation if no key is queued. getCh :: IO Char getCh = fmap (toEnum.fromIntegral) c_getch foreign import ccall unsafe "conio.h getch" c_getch :: IO CInt -- | Check if at least one key is queued. kbHit :: IO Bool kbHit = fmap (/=0) c_kbhit foreign import ccall unsafe "conio.h kbhit" c_kbhit :: IO CInt On Sun, Aug 30, 2009 at 4:42 PM, Paul Sujkov wrote:

Hi,

is there any (by any means) portable ASCII-Graphics library for Haskell, such as NCurses or AALib? I see HaHa library on Hackage, but is it the only existing library for such a purpose (version 0.2 alerts me a bit)? Or maybe someone has any experience in developing some rogue-like gams in Haskell? :)
