Hey, in the C++ standard library there is a file called CONIO.h, this file has a function that I am trying to implement in FASM. getch(), this function will read in the character the user presses it the second they press it, so they dont need to push enter to get that character. Is this possible in FASM?

Of course it is possible.
Read the help for: SetConsoleMode and ReadConsole API functions.
Also, you can read console input with ReadFile if you provide handle of the console, but there are some oddities that you have to check in the API reference.

I made a simple BASIC like INKEY$ routine for the Windows console.
It can process normal ASCII keys, enhanced keys, function keys, and control state keys.

Nice example Picnic.

Code:

struct __uCharUnion
  UnicodeChar db ?
  AsciiChar dw ?
ends

Seems to be a small bug?

I saw the bug you mention CandyMan, i think it's related to the AltGr key which behaves differently depending on the keyboard, and needs more special handling.
