    Cross-Platform Keyboard Input - How To?

    I'm coding a program that, ideally, will work on Windows AND Linux. I would also, as a bonus, like it to work on Android.

    I need a way to wait for keyboard presses from the user. Not using 'cin' but rather, live keyboard presses (checking to see if a key, any key is pressed, and reacting immediately, not waiting for the user to press Enter/Return).

    Are there any Cross-Platform ways of doing this? I'm using Conio.h but it is Windows only.

    Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

    This will at least get you common code on Windows and Linux

    I suppose it would work on Android as well if you installed a terminal emulator on it.
