Gp142--help getting kybrd input
Ok, the program I'm working on is a small game using the gp142 graphics library. I have the entire program done, and working except for the user input that contols the movment of their character on the screen. I need help getting the program to register a user key press at anypoint while the program is running.
I'll be up all night, so message back or AIM me at xxxManCheesexxx

You might try some sort of loop that scans the keyboard for values (eg values of the arrow keys) . I think an if loop would work for determining the keypress and resolving it.
if (keypress=='X') { //execute} where X is the code gernerated by the key
or if it is windows (winapi) code, you could borrow some of the DirectX functions, i cant remember them of the top of my head as i have not done dx for so long, but there are the DirectInput routines which can also accomadate for mouse, joystick, ffeedback etc..
