Hello, i'm not new to C++ but i havn't coded in a few years, so i'm rather rusty.
I'm trying to make a do... while. that loops while waiting for a key press. It's for a splash screen. I'm running into the problem that it will wait for input if i use ...while((ch=getch)==0) or even if i use any iteration of that.
It's for a console program.
Perhaps kbhit()? It really depends on your platform since there is no standard C++ solution for that.
edit: That did it.
I had to us getch() to clear the buffer after kbhit(); but it did work. Thanks!
no no, spawn a second thread to handle keyboard input adn have it signal the main thread when there is input ready lol.
you do it and i'll take credit for it!
its really not hard to spawn extra threads, but doing so for such a simple task would be like swatting a fly with a sledgehammer.
Man this is the first program i've written on my own in like 3 years, it's pretty rough as it is. lol I'll post the full code for criticism when i'm done.
