Subject: polling stdin

Author: martin fierz

Date: 03:41:28 07/27/03

hmm, i'm feeling a bit stupid, perhaps somebody can help me: i want to detect
when there is input for my engine, but i'm doing something wrong. functions like
getc() don't return if there is no input, and the function kbhit() which works
fine in console mode doesn't seem to work when the engine is started by a GUI.
what function can i use to check whether there is input at stdin?

cheers
