So i'm trying to make something that waits for a user to press a key, and it stores whatever key they pressed in a variable without pressing enter. I heard of mscvrt but that only works on Windows, but i'm trying to make this on linux. Any ideas?

Why the big LINUX in the title? Do you have any reason whatsoever to think this would be different across platforms? – Charles Duffy Nov 28 '17 at 02:55

@CharlesDuffy: Sadly, the OS does matter here. Direct terminal reads of a single character (without waiting for a newline to be entered) are surprisingly non-portable (see answers to duplicate question). – ShadowRanger Nov 28 '17 at 02:57
