RE: How to captue enter, up, down, left, right and Fx

["Paul Robson" <probson@powerup.com.au>]

If you're going to be programming in windows, which I assume you are seeing
as you are using open GL.. i think that you can't use getchar().. don't you
have to prespond to the WM_KEYPRESSED message or something?  I'm a kind of a
beginner to game programming (meaning that i've dabbled for a long time but
not done anything serious) and am very new to windows programming, but i
understand that most of the dos stuff doesn't really work.
