Urgent Debugging Assistance

luckylarv (9)
I am in dire need of assistance with a bug in my programme. this one bug is the only thing stopping me from handing in my assignment. My programme is a basic rpg game. where the user moves around a map and encounters scenarios and battles. however the moving around the map function that I have used isn't working correctly. The issue is that when the user presses an arrow key. they move one space, and then can no longer move in that direction any further, and when a different arrow key is pressed a second character icon(*) appears and no further input for movement is registered. I have changed my code multiple times and tested and I still cant seem to get it to work. it compiles perfectly fine. I just possibly need a second pair of eyes to check my code and see if there's anything I've missed which is making the bug

the following code is the original that didn't work

Where is loop around GetAsyncKeyState? You probably want to move } from line 40 to 71-72.
