The primary way to capture events is with the :any:`tcod.event.get` and :any:`tcod.event.wait` functions. These functions return events in a loop until the internal event queue is empty. Use :func:`isinstance`, :any:`tcod.event.EventDispatch`, or match statements (introduced in Python 3.10) to determine which event was returned.

.. autofunction:: tcod.event.wait
