I have a program where a certain sound is played corresponding to a key pressed on the keyboard. But every time I press a key, I have to press Enter for the sound to be played. What I actually want to do is to press the key without having to press Enter and a sound should be played. How can I do this?
I'm using Windows 10. Here is my code:
while(1)
{
cin>>button;
switch (button)
{
case 'q':
PlaySound( TEXT("C:\\Users\\Gumm\\Downloads\\real sound of notes\\ardha chapu.wav"),NULL,SND_SYNC );
break;
case 'w':
PlaySound( TEXT("C:\\Users\\Gumm\\Downloads\\real sound of notes\\chapu"),NULL,SND_SYNC );
break;
case 'e':
PlaySound( TEXT("C:\\Users\\Gumm\\Downloads\\real sound of notes\\dheem"),NULL,SND_SYNC );
break;
default:
printf("No sound");
}
}

Assuming you already have a working program (except mandatory pressing of return key), here is a solution specific to your problem:
#include <ncurses.h>
int kbhit(void)
{
int ch = getch();
if (ch != ERR) {
ungetch(ch);
return 1;
}
else
return 0;
}
int main(void)
{
initscr();
cbreak();
noecho();
while (true) {
if (kbhit()) {
switch(getch())
{
case 10:
printw("Return key pressed!\n");
// your code to play a sound when `return` key pressed
break;
case 110: // for small `n`
case 78: // for capital `N`
printw("N or n key pressed!\n");
// your code to play sound when `n` or `N` key pressed
break;
// ...
}
refresh();
}
}
return 0;
}
