    Exclamation pls help

    hi

    i wrote a programme that has an object( :-> ) and you can control this object by "w" for moving it up and "s" for moving it down
    my code is;

    ......
    char key;
    int i;
    .
    .
    .
    key = getch();
    if (key==s) {
    i--;
    }
    .
    .
    .this works very well if i push JUST one time and in the second time the program terminates itself
    so i used do..while


    do {
    .
    .
    .
    } while(key=='q')
    but still i have same problem
    i want to push "s" or "w" unlimited nor just one time

    how can i do this?

    while(key=='q')
    I think you mean :

    PHP Code:
    while(key!='q'

    Yeah I did the same thing on a program of mine only i used the keys E=left, D=down, E=up, and F=right. In my program I put it in it's own function so I only had to type PLAYER(); in the main() function. The code is this.

    Code:
    void player()
    {
    
    /* int X and Y tell where the player is
       int oldX and oldY tell where the player moved from (to clear that spot)
    
       int X=1, Y=1, oldX, oldY;
       char move;
    
       while(1)
       {
    
    /* This is where the computer knows where to put
    the player and set it up to clear the last place
    the player was so you don't see a trail of O's. */
    
    	        gotoxy(X,Y);
    	        oldX=X;
    	        oldY=Y;
    	        printf("O");
    
    
    /* This is the part where it gets the input
    and sees if they moved left, right, up, or down. */
    
               move=toupper(getch());
    	   switch(move)
    	   {
    
    		   case 'S':
                                                            X--;
                                                            break;
    
    		   case 'D':
                                                            Y++;
                                                            break;
    
    		   case 'F':
                                                            X++;
                                                            break;
    
    		   case 'E':
                                                            Y--;
                                                            break;
    
    		   default:  //if they hit keys other then EDSF print this
    			gotoxy(1,24);
    			printf("Move with E, D, S, F\n");
    			printf("Make your next move.");
    			move=toupper(getch());
    	   }//end switch
    
    // puts a space where the player was after they moved	
          gotoxy(oldX, oldY);
          printf(" ");
    
       }//end while loop
    
    }//end player
    Tell me if that solves your question.

    Are you using Goof Program program ,

    Well it's always the same answer, instead of :

    while(1)

    I deleted some of the code that killed the while loop because that might not be what you wanted. so i left it up to you so you can use what you need. thats just the base of it. It is a function on it's own, not part of main() all though you can put it in main().
