1. interrupable sleep

I need a function, that sleep for some seconds. Waiting can be interrupted with the action. In such case that function has to return TRUE.
include std/types.e function heDidNotWait(integer Seconds) for i = 1 to Seconds do if isInterrupted() then return TRUE end if end for return FALSE end function
By the way, function isInterrupted has to return TRUE, if the castor of a mouse was turned. How to do it? Perhaps to reconstruct function?

This should do the trick. Just replace my get_key() with your isInterrupted().
include "std/os.e" public function wait( atom t ) atom stop_time = time() + t while time() < stop_time do if get_key() != -1 then return 1 -- TRUE end if -- pause sleep(0) end while return 0 -- FALSE end function -- testing puts( 1, "waiting..." ) wait( 30 ) -- can be canceled by a key press puts( 1, "done!\n" )

I have no idea what you mean by this. 
Where does isInterrupted() come from?

I think what is really wanted is an implementation for isInterrupted().

I think it means: if the cursor of the mouse was moved.

You may want GetLastInputInfo

What sort of a program is this? Assuming you're using some GUI library, then I'd say that you'd set a timer or something, and invalidate or destroy it if you get a scroll wheel event in the meantime. If this is a console type program, that isn't using some event system, then you'll just have to periodically poll the scroll wheel.
