Hello,
I was trying to develop a game in c++ ( text mode ), but I couldn't
figure out how to make rest of the elements moving in the game while
waiting for the player's input, or, how to accept the player's input
in the game. I had visited many sites having c++ tutorials but no one
gave enough explanation about this. an anyone please help me?

We can help you get input - post your code (AFTER reading the links
that conclude this post) and we can give you advice. We can't help
with making elements move while waiting for input - threads are not
discussed here. http://www.slack.net/~shiva/welcome.txt http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/

AFAIK there are no input facilities in C++ that do not block until the input
actually arrives. You'll have to use some system-specific library to do
that.
<OT>
If you're working in Windows you may want to take a look at
GetAsyncKeyStat e() function. Old Borland compilers had also non-standard
'conio.h' header. It contained functions that allowed to do non-blocking
keyboard input.

Hi!
I posted a message a while back asking for project suggestions, and decided
to go with the idea of creating an adventure game (although it was never
intended to be a 'proper' game, rather an excuse to write- and learn- some
C++).
To cut a long story short, I wrote a fair chunk of it, but realised that
it's... not very good. Okay, it's my first "proper" C++ program, so that's
no big deal, but I don't want to waste more time working...

I know this must have been asked elsewhere, but I cannot find it. There is a
piece of text on my web page that I don't want browsers to resize. IE won't
resize it if I specify the size in px, but everything else will. Is there any
way to prevent browsers from resizing text?
If you could just point me to where this has already been answered, that would
be great.

Hi
Firstly let me say, and without false modesty, im a complete php noob.
Im planning on converting a simple game from python to a class using,
php powered web site. There follows my requirements.
1. Page displays a jpeg image from a folder on the server
im guessing here that on first page load php could read the file names
into an array, then subsequently get image names from the array.

Hello All-
I'm writing a game using asp.net (c#). The game is a browser-based Role
Playing Game. I'm trying to determine the best way to design the game
with scalability in mind.
The Player class will hold info about the player, such as hit points,
weapons and armor that are equipped, and other stats specific to the
player. Each page on the site will require some or all of the info
stored in the player object.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
