Re: Keydown in Windows Console?

["Brian Holley" <comp_brain@hotmail.com>]

Hey-

You can use a function that won't wait by doing something like this:

//This may need a little tweaking
int KbHit()
{
     int key;
     if (kbhit())
          key = getch();  //This will only getch() if one is available
     return key;
}

Hope this helps.
-Brian
