I am creating a C++ console program using (Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2) on a WinXP.
The problem arises when I want to get user input.
For the sake of comparison say I made a Tetris game.
I mastered the part where I can detect if the arrow keys are pressed.
But what if the user doesn't press anything? I want my program to continue
running regardless of user input and not have to wait for input to move.
if(KEYS_PRESSED){//<----[if nothing is being pressed move on]
//<----[interpret those keystrokes and move accordingly (this part is fine)]
}
MOVE_PIECE();//<----[this will happen even if user gives no input]
Just trying to avoid the "Press any key to continue" thing.
