oki, i am using char* strings, and i am reading in using
cin.get(buf, 52);
in a while game loop..
this work fine, until i input only a carried return/newline
then the game loops in and out of my get_input function in a never ending loop O_o..
i have tried, cin.ignore, fflush, even a "dummy" cin.get(...) to catch it but these don't work.
this is an example of what my code input code:
string input;
while (getline(cin, input) && input != "quit")
{
// do whatever with input here
}
while (getline(cin, input) && input != "quit")
{
// do whatever with input here
}

OMG, hehe 10mins after posting i resolve it! \o/
cin.clear(); // because cin.get.. fails on CR \ \n.. cin state stays failed... thus b0rks, need reseting.
fflush(stdin); //flush hangline newlines.
love it
\o/
bah.. me thinks i gave up too soon
thanks

:o
like i said, using char* (cstrings), which re vastly implemented throughout my game :o
tbh, i wish i had used std::string.. then i wouldn''t have to have sorted overflow issues...
but char * is good ptr practice
thanks
/me absorbs code :D

You know std::string has the member function c_str(), which returns a const char*? This way you can use strings in your new functions and still call the old ones.

jea i know c_str, so it can be used with legacy funtions..
but like i said, i have implemented char* through out me game, not gunna go _mess_ it up now by converting to std:string.
probably will use std::string in the future.
thanks
