Thread: On-Key changes

I need my game to move the guy up on up arrow, odwn on down arrow, etc, but i cant do it. i was think somewhere along the lines of this?

Code:

		if(_kbhit() == (char)75)
		{
			posone -= 1;
		}
		else if(_kbhit() == (char)77)
		{
			posone += 1;
		}
		else if(_kbhit() == (char)72)
		{
			postwo -= 1;
		}
		else if(_kbhit() == (char)80)
		{
			postwo += 1;
		}

of course its wrong but any help would be appreciated.
P.S. posone is left(negative) right(positive) and postwo is up(negative) down(positive) on the game map.(stored in a 2d array, map[posone][postwo], get it? )

Code:

char keyPress;

keyPress = getc();
switch(keyPress)
{
       case 75 : /*blah blah blah*/;break;
       case 77 : /*blah blah blah*/;break;
       case 72 : /*blah blah blah*/;break;
       case 80 : /*blah blah blah*/;break;
       default  : break;
}

thank you it worked ^_^
