So, some sort of system where you have a timer running and something reading keypresses?

[cainen172]

yup pretty much :)

[Zhuge]

Reading keypresses and such is platform-specific, so I would recommend looking into SFML for this, if only because it can help you expand into more complex things later and is multi-platform.

In this case, you could probably simply start a timer, wait for the space bar, and when you get it, see how long it took an act accordingly.

ya but i have no idea how to run or install or use sfml

[firedraco]

They have tutorials on their site on how to install it and use it.

[Zhuge]

If you have specific problems with the process, you can post here again and we'll see if we can clarify it for you.

[cainen172]

its ok. i dont think that you can use it with dev c++ anyway

Wait, you're using Dev-C++? If you are, please switch to something still supported, like Code::Blocks.
