Trying to use Timer in console based game that gives the user
so much time to act.
Thats quite tricky in standard console mode.
If you were on Linux (or MacOS?) you could use curses
and I think it would be easier there. But on XP I think
you may have to get into the world of threads and launch
the input prompt in a separate thread which can be
terminated after the timeout.
Its one of those things that is easier in a GUI than in a console.
