Is there any way of getting input directly from keyboard without it getting written onto screen?
I tried the standard O/I functions, but they don't help. I also looked into C libraries, but there wasn't and useful function (unless I missed some).
I need only one one key from keyboard, so I use getchar() now. The program is dependant on what key the user presses.

1. If your compiler supports conio.h then it contains a couple functions that will do what you want.2. Use OS-specific api functions. For MS-Windows there are some console functions you can use (

The first option fixed my problem. Thank you.
I need to make one of my functions run faster, (because the game is very dependant on how quickly it runs) can I post it here or should I go elsewhere?
Yes, post it.
You don't have to. I decided that I will post it later, because I don't know one important thing in C. And that thing could be the cause, why I can't make it faster. If it won't help, then I will post in this forum.
In other words this tread can be locked.
