I know this, but I simply didn't want to use it that way.
The problem was that I pulled for ESC on the of the loop and later
I pulled for SPACE. Logically, the queue is always empty, when
I check whether SPACE is pressed.

I would be great if I had a key-system that works like, e.g.:
input.is_pressed(KEY, FUNCTION)

and internally it uses a list and calls the given function
every time the key is pressed. The internal things should be
hidden from the programmer. But I'm not that pro and have
no clue (yet) about this callback-function-thing.

Thanks :)
