getch();

Molly (14)
Well , until now , this code spawns 40 random colored circles one after one and the circles are supposed to fall , so i had to increase the amount of Y repeatedly .
I wanted to check if player presses A or D so he can move the falling circles on the x axis .
but The problem is that getch(); avoids the circles to fall and i have to hold one of the keyboard's button to make it fall .
Do you have nay ideas about how can i fix this problem?

    getch();
    return 0;
}

This is non-standard, but it might be what you are looking for in this scenario:

if (kbhit())
{
    ch = getch();
    // etc...
}

by using Chervil's method, it accelerates the process of the falling circles and makes it not usable.

If too fast, possibly use the windows Sleep() function to introduce a delay? I've not tested this idea, it may or may not be relevant.

Thanks everyone for the replies .
Well Jason i tried chervil's method , and i noticed that . But i just decreased the speed of falling by using Sleep

What did you set the sleep to?
