Functions Provided

Entry pointFunction providedNotes
WAITKEYWaits for a tap on either controllerSpecifically, waits for there to be no input on either controller, followed by an input from either controller, and then no input again. Debounces the input to avoid glitches.
WAITNOKEYWaits for there to be no input on either controller.Debounced to avoid glitches.



These functions take no arguments.

Examples

The following example program counts the number of taps of the controller one has made and displays that count on screen. It uses several library files in addition to this one, including gimini.asm, print.asm, prnum16.asm, prnum32.asm, and fillmem.asm.

Notes

The code reads both controllers by XORing the inputs of the two together. Thus, it is possible to fool this code into thinking nothing is pressed if the exact same thing is pressed on both controllers. This isn't seen as a big deal.

Despite "key" appearing in their name, WAITKEY and WAITNOKEY really look for any input. Disc, action buttons and keypad all have the same effect to this code.
