Re: Checking for User Input in a Loop

Hi, I''ve got this little problem. I have a RenderIntro function, which is pretty self explanatory, it renders the intro using a few FOR loops, but I want the intro to skip if a key is pressed, and I don''t quite see how to do this. The best I can come up with is a massive FOR loop, and load of ifs to determine where it''s up to, and every iteration goes past the "Check if key is pressed". Any ideas? I''m open to multithreading. Thanks in advance, -TF C++

I think you do not understand what multitreading is all about.

Multithreading is overkill for what you want to accomplish.

Yes, maybe I am overusing multithreading for such a simple purpose, but if it can be done, great

I don''t need to use a FSM because I am just rendering an intro, I need not return to the main function if I can help it. I don''t need to process anything else (not even WMs yet) so I can stay in that function until it returns.

The RenderIntro() function is called just after the init of DG and DI.
