Cin is useful if you''re using a console, but not if you''re using the Windows API. For this you''ll want to look at the WM_KEYUP and WM_KEYDOWN messages in your message loop. The wParam returns a ''virtual-key'' scancode which refers to the key being held down (or up). Create an array to store which keys are down and which arent, then use the message loop to change them.
