using keyboard input

[chilly cradle]

why does pressing backspace break the program

int main() {
    while(1){
        if(_kbhit()){
            if (GetAsyncKeyState(0x0D)){
                Item rolled = weighted_random_choice(items,weights);
                std::cout<<"you rolled a "<<rolled.getName()<<" ("<<rolled.getRarity()<<")\n";
                Sleep(1000); continue;
            }
            else if (GetAsyncKeyState(0x08)) return 0;
        }
        Sleep(10);
    }
}

consider using the macros defined by windows in GetAsyncKeyState() 0x0D isnt very readable

its VK_KEYNAME btw

for letters its the asci number so you can just do 'a' for example

[chilly cradle]

like VK_BACK ?

[rotund quest]

yes

next time also try to only send relevent code

which GetKeyStateAsync is backspace?

[chilly cradle]

the second one

[rotund quest]

you return...

returning from main exits the application

[chilly cradle]

that's what it's supposed to do

[rotund quest]

then whats broken?

[chilly cradle]

it doesnt exit

[rotund quest]

try using {} and exit(0); to exit

I have to go now hope this helped

[chilly cradle]

ok
