Thread: delay() replacement needed!

In school, it works since they use old versions of Borland but at home in Borland C++ 5.5.1 there is no delay(), has it been replaced with something else? I'd like to know.
I've heard of Sleep() but that didn't seem to work because I don't know where it is and Google doesn't know more than I do on this matter.

Code:

void wait(long milliseconds)
{
  long timeout = clock() + milliseconds;
  while( clock() < timeout ) continue;
}

I used that one from the FAQ and I have to say it works even better than delay(), somehow feels smoother. Thanks!

That'll delay your program...

Quzah.

heh - I like this one:

Code:

int main(void)
{
  delay_start:
    goto delay_end;
  delay_end:
    goto delay_start;
    return 0;
}
