Hi connor,

My 16-bit code is a bit rusty.
However I wrote this for you. I've tried it on Emu8086 and Windows XP.
It's a com file so it won't run on 64-bit Windows without DosBox.
Code:

    org 100h

    _loop:

    ; check for a keystroke
    mov ah,1
    int 16h
    jz _loop

    ; a keystroke is present
    ; remove it from the keyboard buffer
    xor ah,ah
    int 16h

    ; AH = BIOS scan code
    ; AL = ASCII character

    ; check for ESC
    cmp al,27
    jne _loop

    ret

A small extension to the code.
Code:
    org 100h

    _loop:

    ; check for a keystroke
    mov ah,1
    int 16h
    jz .C

    ; a keystroke is present
    ; remove it from the keyboard buffer
    xor ah,ah
    int 16h

    ; AH = BIOS scan code
    ; AL = ASCII character

    ; check for ESC
    cmp al,27
    je .E

    ; check for A,D,W,S
    cmp al,'A'
    je .A
    cmp al,'D'
    je .D
    cmp al,'W'
    je .W
    cmp al,'S'
    je .S

    jmp .C

.A:
    ; do something
    jmp .C

.D:
    ; do something
    jmp .C

.W:
    ; do something
    jmp .C

.S:
    ; do something
    jmp .C

    ; code

.C:

    ; code

    jmp _loop

.E:
    ret

This code taken from the Emu8086 documentation. Remove 'offset' if you compile with fasm.
Code:
    org 100h

    ; INT 10h / AH = 2 - set cursor position.

    ; input:
    ; DH = row.
    ; DL = column.
    ; BH = page number (0..7).

    mov dh, 10
    mov dl, 20
    mov bh, 0
    mov ah, 2
    int 10h

    ; INT 21h / AH=9 - output of a string at DS:DX. String must be terminated by '$'. 

    mov dx, offset msg
    mov ah, 9
    int 21h

    ret

    msg db "hello world $"
    


Hope this helped.

Try searching the forum. A quick search for "PC SPEAKER" gave me some results. The same goes for sound blaster (i guess).
