Hi everyone, ive got a couple of problems with my code. I trying to add functinality to my program but it isnt going well.
What i want to do is to be able to quit or restart my game at anytime. I thought i could do a strcmp between the buffer and my exit_key, but so far have been unsuccessful.
Can anyone help?
edit:sorry if this is the wrong forum, i just noticed the game one! :D
