I just thought of something could be usefull addition: console input functions like those from C: scanf(), fscanf() and sscanf(). These functions would be usefull in combination with say(), so that you can have input prompts in console applications without using commandline arguments.
Maybe a "graphical" version for use in combination with the write functions in mod_text is possible too. I know it's possible to make your own textinput function, but it's nicer to have something standard for this.
imposible...
Why would scanf be impossible? ???
this was talk several times.
scanf* are insecure functions... and scanf* are wait functions that will block all system.
bennugd can't be blocked.
and... scanf* need std key input... we can implement a own scanf* that use SDL input, but this functions aren't a good idea.
But what about a self made function that's compatible with bennu's design instead using standard C or SDL functions? Or would that be similair to re-inventing the wheel? :-\ Or is it because of the "semi-parallel" design that makes something like that very complicated?
sorry, I don't have plans of add it to bennugd official release.
