Procedure in the while loop

JuriV

Hi everybody,

I want to execute a procedure until the Escape key will be pressed.

Example:

continue = t
while( continue

        ....execute procedure

if (cancel or escape) then
continue = nil

);end while

How could I Do that?

Thanks

    From the 'Cadence SKILL Language User Guide' documentation:

    Use the prog function and the return function to exit early from a for loop. This example
    finds the first odd integer less than or equal to 10.

    prog( ( )
    for( i 0 10
    when( oddp( i )
    return( i )
    ) ; when
    ) ; for
    ) ; prog

    However, I don't know of any way of detecting a key press ( such as 'escape' ) since Allegro doesn't appear to support bindkeys
