It doesn't draw a cursor at all. + +More particularly, the standard cc65 conio always draws a cursor, whether +the cursor is enabled or not. When it's disabled, the cursor is drawn +as a space character. + +Benefits of doing this: + +- Faster and smoother screen updates +- Slightly smaller code (20-30 bytes) +- No more "cursor ghosts" at timed prompts +- No need for a hide_cursor() function + +Disadvantage: Have to draw the cursor myself when needed. It turns out +that only agetc() needs to do this, so not a big deal. Also had to +add an agetc_no_cursor() for timed_getch() to use. |
