I want to make a simple pong game. How do I get the input to move the paddle without making the ball thats moving around pause to wait for input?

Writes binary right handed and hex left handed
Depending on the library you use, there may already be a function that gets input without pausing. In TI-BASIC, I could put a getkey function in a while loop. If a key was pressed, getkey would return a number of the corresponding key, otherwise it just returns 0.
If that's not available, you could use a forking program or something similar. One process would wait for input, and the other would do normal game operations.
