What I am doing is trying to make a trivia door
and the "setstr and getstr " functions are what I'm using.
Only problem is that when you go to answer the question,
if you hit ctrl-c it accepts the command as true and awards ya
50 points. even though you don't type in a damned thing ! :)
When the programing gets tuff, the programer must get creative,. thats my motto.... here's what i would try..
when you get the input, from the user, check to see if it is within the valid limits, example:
if there is a menu that says: (1) do something (2) go someware (Q) Quit.
Check and see if the user enterd eather '1' '2' or 'q', if he didnt, then remove 50 points, because he musta hit ctrl-c, this will compansate you.
it's not a "direct" fix to your problem, but as i said, sometimes you need to be creative. :-)
