Making a getch and kbhit function?

**Brian** · 03-02-2002

Anyone know what code I'd need for these functions? [dos/windows], because the Dev-C++ versions of these functions are pretty ****ed up.

Code:

int getch(void)
{
 /* blah blah blah*/
}

Code:

int kbhit(void)
{
 /*blah blah blah*/
}

To get alternative versions (that probably work as you'd expect), include conio_mingw.h instead of conio.h.

If your problem is to stop the program until the user hit a key, you could use this:

Code:

void pause(void)
{
  puts("press enter to continue");
  getc;
}

At least this would be ANSII-conform. (In spite of the getch() and kbhit() functions.)
