Unfortunately, module curses is not available in Sololearn. They really need to fix the Code Playground, starting with the input system.

Something like this: I haven't ever really used this before so I found this question interesting and looked it up in the python docs. Note this is for python 3.5, but I didn't see much difference for other versions. https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/curses.html https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/curses.html#window-objects import curses screen = curses.initscr() curses.cbreak() screen.keypad(1) screen.addstr("Enter q to quit ") screen.refresh() key = '' while key != ord('q'): key = screen.getch() screen.addch(key) screen.refresh() curses.endwin()

if you are using c language or c++ you can use a loop and condition along with the _kbhit () and _getch () functions. while (_khbit) { _getch(); } but this code is useless. you need to implement an idea. The kbhit is to tell the computer a key has been hit. the getch gets the key that was hit without prompt.
