Is there any way to detect when an arrow key is pressed like in the default "snake" game"?
I'm making a game in my minecraft world and I need this for keyboard controls.

Th wiki is your friend. Also the tutorials section. You are looking for os.pullEvent() It has everything you need. Just search that on the wiki, and you'll get all you need.

You can also look at the source for snake itself. It's just a lua file.
