Thread: problem with while loop using getch function

Hey guys
I'm writting a program that is supposed to play music and i'm having difficulty with turning the music on/off.

To start the music the user has the press the O key, and to turn it off they press the M key, using on_off = getch(). The music is played by using the random function to select a midi_note, and then looped using the while loop.

I can get the O button to start the loop, but then can't get the m button to stop it. I'm assuming this is because getch has already assigned O to the on_off.

Is there a way around this? Sorry, but i'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to programming

Thanks

Without seeing what your code looks like, it will be almost impossible to answer.

Try getche() and see the pressed key, it should print O, M or whatever, if not then the bug prolly is in previous line
