Hello guys,

Does anyone know how to keep a console window active till the user presses any key on the keyboard to close the console? Everytime I create a program on devcpp, when I run it the console window just doesn't stay there, it disappears within seconds. I knew how to do this with an older version of devcpp, but since I've upgraded it, I haven't really used it much. Now I want to start with some 2d gaming programs.
