checking for a space bar input

[Acidburn]

Hey guys,

Just wondering how I check for the space bar input...since my program doesn't seem to want to know when I hit the space bar..... It just outputs a space on the konsole window and then hitting enter makes a new line...

cheers John

That's correct behavior. Input in C++ is line oriented. If you want to just hit a space and have it be recognized immediately, you need to use a non-standard function such as getch to take raw input.
