    Keyboard Input

    We are trying to make a program that displays a keyboard on the screen, then highlights the corrospending key when it is hit on the physical keyboard. Then it would play a different noise for each key. How do we begin? What fuctions/operations are associated with keyboard thigns?

    We know nothing about keyboards

    Neither does standard C++.
    So you need to tell us about your environment (OS, Compiler, GUI etc).
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    How about the various sub-tasks
    - play a sound (any sound)
    - draw a simple button on screen
    - handle any key press
