Keypresses in C++
« on: March 25, 2013, 08:26:52 pm »
I've read up a bit through google.
getch(); from the <conio.h> seems to have a lot of hits, yet i'm not sure how to use it :c
Or are there other ways?
I'd mostly like to pause the program and wait for a keystroke, then check if the user pressed "y" or "n".

getch() is exactly the right thing you need. It waits for a keypress and returns the character that was typed.

Code: [Select]
#include <conio.h>

...

char c;
do {
  c = getch();
} while (c != 'y' && c != 'n');

if (c == 'y'){
  do stuff;
} else {
  do something else;
}
