I am making a game in C where I need a function that waits a certain amount of time and if an action hasn't occurred in that amount of time, another action occurs. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use?

This is what I need to happen:

if in n seconds (!box_clicked) then action;

please use kbhit() function .If !kbhit() in specified time give command for the next action destired.
kbhit means key boardhit .It is in conio.h
time(NULL) to note time from system clock
time _t t1,t2,diff;

I just wanted to note that kbhit is not part of the ANSI standard and so make sure that your compiler supports it before completely relying on it. smile.gif
