Don't want to wait \n while reading inputStream

Question

I'm making a console game, where user connects via telnet to a server and has to press spacebar when sees a particular number. is it possible to make user press only spacebar, without submitting it by pressing enter?

Currently i'm using BufferedReader read() method, but if i have to use something else, please tell me.

Answer 1

There is nothing you can do on the server, you need to replace the client. The telnet client waits until the user presses Enter before sending a complete line of text to the server.
