[ty98]

What is your OS? If you use POSIX systems, you can use the sleep() function.

You could look into the <ctime> library. Using it you should be able to make your program wait.

I steel can't get it to werk with <ctime>

[anonymous23323124]

The <ctime> library doesn't have a wait function. The suggestion by ultifinitus was to write your own wait function. I was saying that you could use the <ctime> library to do this.

His OS is Windows. #include<windows.h> and Sleep() should work.

[ultifinitus]

I feel really bad! But I'm laughing quite hard! Sorry ty!

Sleep works just fine for windows.

Boost has a sleep function for cross platform functionality.

overkill, you could use SDL.
