The old thread was locked, so I start another one. I just looked thru' google just typing "getch". The very first entry was:
http://nscp.upenn.edu/aix4.3html/libs/ba.../getch.htm
[that doc is for AIX environments, where getch is defined on curses.h . In DOS/Win32 console based stuff it is on conio.h]
If you type in "c documentation" it leads to many sites, including this:
http://www.infosys.utas.edu.au/info/documentation/C/
You can always refer to MSDN site, http://msdn.microsoft.com which is just like a big online help.
If you look for forums like this one, google again and you'll find http://www.codeguru.com with forums on C++, VB and .NET stuff, plus ASP and many other subjects.
You'll end using Allegro (or not). There is a nice community here: http://www.allegro.cc where I've found help many times.
This is not a rant, but a justification. May I have sounded rude, but I just made a funny, silly joke (quote: "a nice RTFM moment") paraphrasing someone in this forum, and I got flamed without a valid reason.
And seph, I never intended to call you idiot.
