Changing literally anything in this code fixes it, like removing the wait, removing the parameter whatever. Code: #include <acknex.h> #include <default.c> STRING* testStr="abcd"; void input(STRING* str) { while(1) { char lol=inchar(NULL); printf(lol); wait(1); } } void main() { input(testStr); } EDIT: Also having lol as var and then casting as char gives bad values.

EDIT: oh, and try putting a wait(1); between the inchar and the printf. I think I had to use something similar when I made a japanese kana input for someone. Last edited by Kartoffel; 09/27/15 10:11.
