Answer 1

Well brother, i will ask professor if there's another solution. Btw thanks for your time

Answer 2

find the unicode representaion. When you kbhit(), output the value of getch() and press the arrow keys.
Now use those numbers!

Answer 3

dude, i have already tried this.. but the thing is the other keys like N,H,K whose ascii are same as arrow keys also got pressed ...it is due to kbhit!!

Answer 4

aw well maybe use windows API GetASyncKeyState()

Answer 5

yes .. but i cannot change my whole code now !!! i have used getch everywhere !!plus use of async key is complex!

Answer 6

Darn. Well IDK what to tell you now, sorry. If the project isn't too big, copy it and try GetASyncKeyState. It only requires the key macro e.g. if getasync( VK_Left) do this.

Alright good luck and no problem; always happy to help!
