I can say one thing... Dev-C++ from Bloodshed is good. I did'n have any problems on that.

getchar() will finish the case in my opinion... you can try

system "PAUSE";

but i don't like that

Dev-C++ from Bloodshed is excellent. I got C++BuilderX from a book tutorial, free, and now it's no longer distributed.
Laptop has Borland, desktop has Dev-C++. I use the laptop to learn the code and the desktop to do everything besides that when I'm actually allowed on the desktop.

does that have it record what is typed into other programs? (like when a freind comes over and wants to play runescape on my computer I could start running it and find out what his password is? Muhaha :twisted:

On most computers that I have seen you have to press Ctrl+Alt+Del before logging in...

*wonders, why somebody put such kind of inconvenience into OS...*

:wink:

That's illegal but yes C++ can register keystrokes.

However, that will be far beyond your skill for a long time, and what makes it even more useless to program is that there are hundreds of keystrole recorders you can download. That means, when someone presses a key on your computer, it records it. Set it up when your friend comes over... but don't be cruel and steal his money because imagine if your Runescape account was just stolen one day... it wouldn't be a lot of fun.

And who plays runescape these days anyways lol? I started playing that 7 or something years ago (possibly more)... and played it for four years after that until I found other games...

a) It is mainly used on networked computers in businesses and schools, not most computers unless you have windows NT

lol which I HATE!

b) And it may be an inconvenience, (god yeah!) but it is there to prevent accidental key typing and other things.

Hm... I was being sarcastic.... :roll:

Haha okay.
I don't see the relevance of telling us that you can press ctrl+alt+delete after talking about getting runescape passwords so I thought you were making a joke lol.. :wink:

If I wanted to run a program then once the program is done to start over how would I do that?

N-Aldwitch · Postby **N-Aldwitch** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 1:27 pm

Use a loop?

It's fairly difficult to implement a program to close then reopen, if not impossible without imbedding some data in the RAM or hidden application that will tell the program to reopen.

Depends on what you want to do really, but using a loop will cost you something like 2+ lines (plus the code inbetween), while making it so when the program closes, it reopens, will cost you 50+ (at least it'd cost me that!!

so shuddup you programmer elites!!

)

sorry, I wasn't clear, I just want it to show the first line of text again and start over in that way when a certain command is given.

Another option is to use Microsoft Visual C++. You can download the Express edition for free from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/.

A very good site to get lots of stuff from is http://www.codeproject.com although some of the stuff might be a lot more advanced than you need right now, but there is a section for beginners at http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/#Beginners.

is it free? did they do a good job on it? (the problem with windows is that people can see right in)
