Better way to get input in games?

I am using c\c++, and right now I''m gettin input like that:
Depends what you''re using.
SDL and DirectX all have ways of getting input that are more suited to real-time games.

Or, if you want a quick and easy way, include windows.h and use SHORT GetAsyncKeyState(int vKey). I''d also recommend SDL or DirectX for more serious stuff though.

You don''t have "windows.h"? Might I suggest upgrading your compiler? =)
If you want to get keyboard input the "Windows" way, your window procedure will probably look very similar to what you already have set up right now. However, if you''re aiming for a more.. platform-independent (straight C++) solution, I''m afraid I don''t know C++ console input well.

will directx solve the problem of not been able to input with two
keys at the same time
I''m doing my own version of rtype and i can''t move up and down and fire at the same time
any ideas?

Yes. DirectX will support as many simultaneous key presses as your hardware will allow. Typically it's 4 keys.
edit -- I believe SDL will allow this, as well.
