How to Disable the Ability to Type in a Console Application?

Question

I'm currently attempting to make a snake clone in VB2015 using the console template. I'm wondering if I can disable the ability to type so I can finish it. Thank you.

Taken from Hans Passant's answer here:

while (!Done)
{
    while (Console.KeyAvailable) Console.ReadKey(true);
    ConsoleKeyInfo key = Console.ReadKey(true);
    // etc..
}
