I'm trying to code the game of Simon(try to mimic the computers choice of four buttons) for a project. I'm kind of stuck because the computer generates a random choice, but I need to completely halt and wait for the user to enter his choice.(Done with the aswd keys; either up, down, left, or right) How can I do this? I'm trying to use _kbhit but it's not working as intended.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe because kbhit() doesn't read keys, it only tells you whether there is a key available.
To actually read it, use getch() or something like it (since you seem to be in DOS land).

Oh... oh!. You are going to hear about this one. :)

I don't get it. The only other alternative is to use some curses library.

Based strictly on this description, just read a line from the user. When he hits ENTER check the characters.
getchar(); the line just before return 0; works for me.

Except we aren't talking about pausing the console after the execution is finished...
