detect what button they push without enter

how can i do it, like how can i have it so it knows if have pushed like the right arrow instead of having them type r and enter it...

getch() or virtual keys, read the FAQ.

Here's a windows method that's relatively simple:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <climits>
#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
  short esc = 0;

  while ( !esc ) {
    esc = GetAsyncKeyState ( VK_ESCAPE );

    if ( GetAsyncKeyState ( VK_UP ) & SHRT_MAX )
      std::cout<<"Up arrow is pressed\n";
    else if ( GetAsyncKeyState ( VK_DOWN ) & SHRT_MAX )
      std::cout<<"Down arrow is pressed\n";
    else if ( GetAsyncKeyState ( VK_LEFT ) & SHRT_MAX )
      std::cout<<"Left arrow is pressed\n";
    else if ( GetAsyncKeyState ( VK_RIGHT ) & SHRT_MAX )
      std::cout<<"Right arrow is pressed\n";

    std::cout.flush();
  }

  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
