I know this question has been asked hundreds of times, but How do you...

[frenchfry164]

I need help on making the program wait abit. I can use wait(), but for some reason, it locks up the comp when I try it in 13h mode. I tried doing a for loop that doesnt do anything for abit, but once I get the number up high enough for a noticable pause, the one thing where if something repeats enough the program aborts.

I just need a pause for so many seconds routine.

If you're programming for the Windows platform you can use the Win32 API function 'Sleep'. If your program is running exclusively on its own and you don't care how much CPU it takes up, you can write your own wait function with the functions in <time.h> (<ctime>):

void Wait(int iSeconds)
{
time_t iEnd = time() + iSeconds;

while (time() < iEnd)
;
}
