Manic Miner tribute
Hi everyone. For the past 5 months or so, I've been testing ugBASIC and learning how to use it. It has been a lot of fun writing many little programs, and helping to find bugs in the language.

ESC key on CPC
Hi there.
Is there a way to check the key state of the ESC key on the Amstrad CPC target?
