In language Borland C How do you make a computer program accept input without stopping it with a specific input statement For example: Asteroids game-program runs but accepts arrow keys while running?

Answer 1

I remember doing this in borland c++ many years ago. The strategy is to write an interrupt handler function that will go out the the character buffer and check to see if a key was pressed. you will need to look up in your borland documentation on what this register would be called. i am too poor to afford a compiler right now. then in your game processing loop you code would look something like: stmts if keypressed then check input buffer for char (process char for the action you want it to do) end if stmts your function "keypressed" would be the one to check the interrupt for this this is also similar to how to handle mouse input. sorry i can't give you more help.
