Detecting multiple keypress(es) in C

[Saurabh Jain]

Hello,

I am writing a game in C and for making it a 2 player game, I need to
detect 2 or more keys getting pressed simultaneouly from the keyboard.

My knowledge of C / C++ is pretty intermediate and I would appreciate
any help.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Saurabh Jain

This can't be done in ISO standard C or ISO standard C++, as neither
language specifies any way to read anything from the keyboard. You
should ask in a newsgroup dedicated to your own implementation.

This is more specific to the windowing toolkit that you are using
instead of C/C++ .
