msdos arrow keys?

question: how do i get the arrow keys instead of these shift, alt, and control keys working? i.e. left arrow, right arrow, up arrow, down arrow. help. s.o.s.

Code:

---






keyboard=*(unsigned short far*)MK_FP(0x40,0x17);

if(kbhit()){a=getch();}

if(keyboard&0x0002)     
  {             
    // action.
  }

if(keyboard&0x0001)                     
  {
    // action.
  }

if(keyboard&0x0004)
  {
    // action.
  }
       
if(keyboard&0x0008)                   
  {
    // action.
  }

:confused:

Here is what I did for my maze game that used arrow keys:

Code:

---

                               
                if(kbhit())                        //if a key is pressed
                {                           
                        key = getch();        //get the key
                        key_2 = getch();
                        move = (char)key_2; //change it to an int               
                       
                }

---

This below is what you want to do if a certain key is pressed:

Code:

---


          if(move == 77)
            {
              //do stuff
            }

---

left = 75
right = 77
up = 72
down = 80

Those are the values for each of the keys.

Also, this site has a lot of good info on ASCII values.

EDIT: took out some code that was ony relevant to my program

that's a neat little maze game you made there.

Thanks.
