I want to be able to do this while in graphic mode. I can ask for the input no problem using the textout() function, but how do I let the player see what they are typing? If I use scanf they don't get to see what they are typing while they type it. Do I have to use gui routines? Setup dialog boxes and all that? Please help. Thanks
