Using getch and Beep, with some other stuff, im trying to make a program that plays music based on your keypresses. however, the console is spammed with tons of keys, even when i dont press anything. here is my code:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <Windows.h>
int FGetKey();
int Input;
int GetKey;
int Atmp;
int Btmp;
int Ctmp;
int main()
{
while (GetKey != 56)
{
FGetKey();
printf("Key: %d %x %c", GetKey, GetKey, GetKey);
Atmp = GetKey * 100;
Beep(Atmp, 200);
}
return 0;
}
int FGetKey()
{
GetKey = 0;
while (GetKey != 0)
{
GetKey = getch();
}
}
i cant see why the while loop isnt holding getch(); even if getch should wait for user input. any help?
I think your problem was that you were using getch(which is deprecated, by the way, you should use _getch instead) inside of 2 loops, when it only needs 1. Here's the code that I got to compile under MS Visual C++ 2010 (x86):
Code:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <Windows.h>
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
int GetKey;
int Atmp;
int main()
{
while (GetKey != '~')
{
GetKey = _getch();
if (GetKey != 0)
printf("Key: %d %x %c\n", GetKey, GetKey, GetKey);
Atmp = GetKey * 100;
Beep(Atmp, 200);
}
return 0;
}
I also changed the quitting key to tilde, because _getch returns a char, not a keycode.
