Okay, I''m just full of questions recently. I have been looking over the Game Programming Tutorials and I like the way the DirectInput stuff was done. Just one problem. When a user is, say, entering their game name then programmer has no idea what key will be pressed. The DirectInput tutorial is done in Immediate Mode. Is there a way for me to simply check that a key was pressed and then what key it was without writing a if(KEY_DOWN(DIK)) for each letter?

I''m still having problems with this. I can''t seem to fix it. Any suggestions would be nice.

It is much easier to use the buffered mode of DirectInput for these situations... then you can just empty the buffer =)

Okay...That makes sense but I think I am still confused. Wouldn''t I still have to check every single letter for as being pressed for each instance in the buffer? Or wouldn''t I need to compare each instance in the buffer to every letter to see if it was true? I hope that made sense...I confused myself writing it.
