making a console game and having a trouble with key input

[deividaxas]

i have made a simple ping pong game and i would like to make the panel to move when the key was pressed but the ball itself would wait a time period...

here's my code i have no idea on how to do this so i'm asking you

Hello, it's always good to check if a key is hit. Use the following code:

if (kbhit())
{
    char key = getch();
    if (key == LEFT )
    {
        // Move left
    }
    else if (key == RIGHT)
    {
        // Move right
    }
}

kbhit() checks a memory buffer and tells if a button is hit. When you invoke getch() it will return you the char from the memory buffer and clear it. After that kbhit() will return false.
