How do I add a time delay with Code::Blocks?
I've looked at a couple different websites and everything I've tried doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
you need to either use OS API calls, or an external library that does it for you, the first isn't cross-platform, the second is, but only for platforms the library supports.
If your compiler supports it (which it probably doesn't) you can use std::this_thread::sleep_for. http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/sleep_for
Otherwise I think you can use Sleep on windows

and sleep on *nix
