Yes but they are huge arduous codes that slow down playability of an exe.

furthermore, I would like to make sure the Command Prompt doesn't close for my text based application. At the moment I am using:

To keep the app working but I would rather the player press something like pressing '0' to end the game because primarily, you need people to enter a choice with 'enter' key, you cannot do this with the above code.

I have no knowledge of C++, so I'm guessing I'm missing something here.

Well yes I would have thought so, that's C++ code.

Use

system("PAUSE")

As for the line break issue, that's an issue to do with the console, not your program. I don't think that the Windows console width can be changed, so you're better off just tweaking your program to only have short output strings.

Ok, thank you very much.

What command line programme are you using?

Erm... do you mean 'compiler'?

I use bloodshed for everything, it's the most fantastic programme.

Do you mean Dev-C++? 'Bloodshed' is the name of the developer, not the program. It's a nice little IDE, but I stopped using it when development died mid-beta, back in 2005ish.

I generally use Eclipse with the CDT plugin.

I hope you were just joking when you spelt program like that. :happy:

Yeh, for some reason it's in my head that program should be programme. I don't even know why.

In the U.K., all uses of the word programme except for 'computer program' should be spelled with the '-me'. In the U.S., 'program' is used for (almost) everything.

This exact sort of whining is what caused The Micallef Program (one of my favourite comedy shows of all time) to be renamed 'The Micallef Programme' for season 2. Then, for some reason, 'The Micallef Pogram' in the third season.

Ah, well that's why I say programme then. In that case I'm going to use that more often instead of trying to correct myself.

Okay. Just as long as you know that you still used it incorrectly in this instance.

Oh. Fuck.
