Use kbhit() to detect that a key was pressed.
If I remember well, you must include gppconio.h and link -lpc to use kbhit().
If you are using a mouse, use something like:
MouseGetEvent((M_POLL | M_EVENT) & (~M_KEYPRESS),&mevent)
or kbhit() will not work.        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Probably you have to test if a mouse is present using MouseDetect() before
calling mouse functions.
