I made some getch like functions for you :)

[SorinAlex]

Hello Guys i made some functions that let you instantly read characters and keyboard keys.The functions are:
-readchar(Gets the character that you pressed (does not work on keys like arrows,etc) ,the return value is the char that it got)
-readch(Reads key and return ascii code)
-readk(Reads key and return virtualkeycode)
-getk(Reads key and return keyscancode ) - kind of like the original getch()
Here are the functions and i also made a little example :)
P.S : If you dont understand something let me know .

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include <windows.h>

TCHAR readch() //returns ascii code
{
INPUT_RECORD InputRecord;
DWORD Writtten;
HANDLE hStdIn = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);
    while(true)
    {
        ReadConsoleInputA(hStdIn,&InputRecord,1,&Writtten);
        if(InputRecord.EventType==KEY_EVENT&&InputRecord.Event.KeyEvent.bKeyDown) break;
    }
    return InputRecord.Event.KeyEvent.uChar.AsciiChar;
}
SHORT readk() //returns virtualkeycode (you can use VK constants :VK_UP,VK_ESCAPE) to compare
{
INPUT_RECORD InputRecord;
DWORD Writtten;
HANDLE hStdIn = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);
    while(true)
    {
        ReadConsoleInputA(hStdIn,&InputRecord,1,&Writtten);
        if(InputRecord.EventType==KEY_EVENT&&InputRecord.Event.KeyEvent.bKeyDown) break;
    }
    return InputRecord.Event.KeyEvent.wVirtualKeyCode;
}
SHORT getk() //returns keyboard scancode
{
    INPUT_RECORD InputRecord;
    DWORD Writtten;
    HANDLE hStdIn = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);
    while(true)
    {
        ReadConsoleInputA(hStdIn,&InputRecord,1,&Writtten);
        if(InputRecord.EventType==KEY_EVENT&&InputRecord.Event.KeyEvent.bKeyDown) break;
    }
    return InputRecord.Event.KeyEvent.wVirtualScanCode;
}
int main()
{
    cout<<"Enter a character : ";
    char c=readch();
    cout<<"\n\n\nYou entered "<<c;
    if(c=='a') cout<<"\n\n\nAnd btw 'a' is my favorite letter too";
    cout<<"\n\n\nPress every arrow key";
    bool uppressed,downpressed,leftpressed,rightpressed;
    short k;
    while(uppressed+downpressed+leftpressed+rightpressed!=4)
    {
        k=readk();
        if(k==VK_UP) uppressed=true;
        if(k==VK_DOWN) downpressed=true;
        if(k==VK_LEFT) leftpressed=true;
        if(k==VK_RIGHT) rightpressed=true;
    }
    cout<<"\n\n\nCongrats you pressed all arrow keys :) !\n";
    cout<<"\n\n\nNow guess what ?\n";
    cout<<"Yes you are right : press any key to continue";
    getk();
    return 0;
}
