Woah, that has absolutely no documentation d-: After some chatting in IRC with those more knowledgeable than I (for future reference, the C manpage for the function is somewhat helpful: http://pastie.org/239587) , it seems to be specific to IO objects - unfortunately, Ncurses::getch isn't really an io object, it's doing some magic of its own and passing it on.
I can't just use STDIN and ignore Ncurses::getch, because STDIN can't be sync'd - it's only usable per-line, not per character. Finally, even if the above weren't true, it won't work - because it still blocks: http://gist.github.com/1895 When I run that (using STDIN per-line, just to test), it still blocks - a period is only printed after every input/output pair; I need periods (in that example) to be continuously be printed, and only run gets when there is something to be, well, gotten. If that made any sense... I certainly learned something new, though, I'd never heard of #select - though I don't see a use, if it still blocks (as I show above) >,> Thanks for the help so far (-: At least I'm trying things and making progress, not banging my head against the keyboard as I was for a while with this d-: On Jul 23, 2008, at 8:46 AM, Stephan Maka wrote: > elliottcable wrote: >> I looked through the ncurses-ruby source, couldn't find any method >> named 'select' - what did you mean there?
