It is still command prompt box in Windows
And UNIXes. http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses-intro.html particularly http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses-intro.html#mouse

In fact ncurses is cross platform; on Windows I think it's pdcurses; so the tutorial should probably cover that when/if he (Duoas) writes it.

Hi, thanks a lot for your information.
And I have a question.

Is there any alternatives for 'kbhit()' from standard libraries. Thanks.

#include <windows.h>

bool iskeypressed()
  {
  return WaitForSingleObject(

    0
    ) == WAIT_OBJECT_0;
  }

Interesting...this got stickied. Guessed that means you'll have to finish it some time Duoas. XP

Wasn't this stickied a while back?
Duthomhas (13200)
Alas, it is currently on the back burner... I won't be able to finish it at least until after I've finished moving and I reinstall Linux (Kubuntu update hosed my system)...

I haven't forgotten it though.

Yes. First, you go and join random forums on the internet, and post unrelated advertizing to as many useful threads as you can find...

hi there, i'm new on here and don't if i'm posting the right place but, I have this problem with a program it keeps giving me a "no match for 'operator==' " error, which is really strange. I am trying to compare strings using if-statements and I just don't get why i'm getting that error. Please help, thanks
