WaitKey
Description
WaitKey waits for player to press a key. This can be any key. After the player has pressed a key, the game is resumed. WaitKey determines if the player has pressed a key by checking the keyboard buffer. If you want to use WaitKey after accepting keyboard input or twice in a row, you will need to use FlushKeys to clear the keyboard buffer.
WaitKey is often used in simple examples to give the user time to read any text displayed, usually with Print.
