another basic question on keyboard input

Ok, here it goes another pocket question...
sorry for posting questions about basic stuff...

in a windows console aplication, how can i make a menu that works with instant key pressing. I mean, i usualy use cin (console input) but it takes pressing the key and pressing return. how can i make it work only with one key pressing.

like "press Q to quit"... and then, the moment i would press Q the program would quit at once without needing me to press return...

hope the english is ok

Well, this can't be done with standard c++ headers, but if your compiler supports it, include <conio.h>

Here would be an example:

Code:

---

int choice;
cout << "[1]Play    [2]Exit";
choice = getch();

---

:)
so easy

Thks ;)
