    Please help me in my project!!

    Actually , i am making a game in C using graphics.h
    game have 2 parts ie. a bucket which is at the bottom which will accept balls coming from the top of screen!!

    So game is ball in bucket!
    if the co-ordinates of ball lies inside the bucket it means that ball has fallen into the bucket.

    Else not!!

    I have given 2 option for bucket that is, A and D to shift the bucket on x axis!!
    My problem starts here:

    In main i have 2 fuctions ie.
    position()- which accepts ch=getch() value and checks that is it A or D and move the bucket accordingly!!
    And randomizer ()- which can randomly makes circle at random x and y increasing (falling from top).

    My problem is how can i achieve that if user doesn't press anything in during ch=getch() then after 1 sec my next line(fuction) of randomizer() will execute!!

    I hope you got it!!!

    Why do you create a topic for C++ if you claim that your game is in C?

    Anyway, what you want to do is platform-specific, which means that you need a 3rd party library to do this. Here is something that might help: linux - Non-blocking getch(), ncurses - Stack Overflow

    Google for "non-blocking keyboard input in C" or similar.

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
