The Sinclair QL Forum

And it’s awesome!

I would be surprised if the DirectX stuff in wine was lacking because it’s funded by a company that sells wine for running games.

Confirmed halfdelay(1) works as effectively non blocking thanks!

I’ll give that a go!

I have been working on a curses driven program and I am hitting the problem that keyboard input is always blocking.

Probably something simple I have missed about QL.

raw() - is set
nodelay() - is set

wgetch() is still blocking though when docs say it should not be.

Depends if the bug is fixed in Minerva, uQLx only supports the extended screenmodes when running Minerva!

It will, but Windows is the last major OS that has not dropped 32bit completely, so the 64bit support comes free from other OS support so might as well build!

Oh nice, and sorry I didn't notice your post. Works fine! Great job!

Ace, Im going to see if I can create a github CI for windows builds (64bit and 32bit)

The procedure GetTickCount64 was not found.

I think I have found the cause of this, but I don't have an XP machine to test.

Here is a new zip.
