Rather than using threads, GUIs, etc., couldn't I just do the
following:
time_t seconds1, seconds2;
char c;
string essay1;
seconds1 = time (NULL);
do {
if(kbhit()) {
c = getch();
essay1.append(1,c);
cout << c;
}
seconds2 = time (NULL);
} while(seconds2 - seconds1 <= 600); // max time in seconds
I came up with it this morning and it seems to do the job. The
solution is to check the time after every key press.
Any thoughts?
Robin.
