Detecting keys in batch

[Joey Lombardo]

I am making a version of Pokemon in CMD. I want to detect key combos in it and I don't know how. How do I?

You misunderstood what batch file can do.

Hi Joey,

that is difficult in CMD batch. If you absolutely want to use that type
of "language", go to the JP Software website and download TCC/LE. It is
free, and offers a superset of CMD.com's batch language with much
enhanced capabilities (see "Features" on the download page). I've done a
Tic-tac-toe with that.

You can Ask to make a Choice, but most key combos are not get-at-able
(word?), just the standard keys. So you might have to use e.g. WASD for
movement.
