Equivalent to BASIC "INKEY$ In C and/or C++

[kaplana]

I have created a game in BASIC in which I can input data numerous times represented by key strokes while the program is running using "If INKEY$=CHR$()". I am trying to translate this game into C and/or C++, but cannot find an equivalent command. It appears that I can use (kbhit()) once while the program is running, but not more often. Is there a way that I can impliment the above BASIC command in C and/or C++?

Yes you can use kbhit(). put

while(1)
{
if(kbhit())
{
c = getch();
if(c == 0) c = getch();
else if(c == 27) break;
}
}

this loop will wait upto a Esc keystoke from the user.

How about to set an interruption? is much faster then kbhit...getch... John Fill

you can write some code like this:

int inkey()
{
int keypress = 0 ;
fflush(stdin) ;
while (!keypress) keypress = getch() ;
return(keypress) ;
}

this works like your inkey

hope this helps
