Can anyone please help me to design a simple game in c++??

Kartik

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.

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
GetAsyncKeyState() function. Old Borland compilers had also non-standard
'conio.h' header. It contained functions that allowed to do non-blocking
keyboard input.
