special kind of output
i understand the basics of cout and the sleep() command but i was wondering if there was an easy way to make my program output one character in a string out to the screen at a time in a set interval like its actually typing a message, also if there are any tutorials on such a thing
There are ways. Particularly with using cout and Sleep. =P (print a character, sleep, print another character, etc)
However this smells like console misuse and/or "something you shouldn't be doing". Why do you want to do this?

im making a game in console, mainly for the fact that im new to cpp and still learning
basically i want it to output text to the screen as if it were someone typing to the user that they are about to go on an adventure

anyway, i want to know if there is an easier way then having to type the character then sleep, over and over for sentences because that could become tedious, and look confusing when im working on it
Well, you obviously create a function for that. Doing it manually would be madness.
