hey there i was wondering if anyone could help me out for a sec, how do i make it so that text that i write to the screen stays there until a key is pressed? would i use a case senario having the variable incrementing every time that key is pressed? well any help is welcome, u guys are the coolest haha

bool cool;

main_loop()
{
cool = true;

if(cool)
{
write_cool_text("cool");
}

if(GetKey(VK_UP))
{
cool = false;
}
}


Note that the getkey function merely checks the state of a given key. Depending on the type of program you are writing, you may find out this in any of a number of ways.

Your sec is up *g*

cin.peek();

Waits until a key is pressed until returning (it does not remove anything from the input stream, so you need to use cin.ignore (1,'' '') if you want to eat the key press).

Or if its dos and old school you can use kbhit() (keyboard hit)

Thanks u guys for the tips
now i have like one day to make the program heh i think ill just take a shortcut by using nehe''s basecode
well catch u guys later, ive got to get onto the assgnment now.
