I have a question for you and I’m sorry if I’m wasting your time.
I made a game in C++(I’m in high school so I don’t know a lot of things).
My problem is that when I try to move my character in right it works if I press the key one time, but if I hold it , the character have a little bit of delay.
How can I remove that delay?

if(kbhit()){
  a=getch();
if((a=='A' && joc[hM-1][lM]!='*' && joc[hM-1][lM]!='#') || (a=='a' && joc[hM-1][lM]!='*' && joc[hM-1][lM]!='#')){
   joc[hM][lM]=' ';
   hM--;
   joc[hM][lM]=minge;}
else
  if((a=='D'  && joc[hM+1][lM]!='*' && joc[hM+1][lM]!='#') || (a=='d' && joc[hM+1][lM]!='*' && joc[hM+1][lM]!='#')){
    joc[hM][lM]=' ';
    hM++;
    joc[hM][lM]=minge;}

Possible that you’re trying to update the character movement too frequently? I’m not really familiar with C++ (I’m a Java developer) so this is simply a guess Smile but I Googled a bit and it seems that you might need to check the character at a fixed interval instead of reading off the input stream for as long as you have data in the stream.

Since you are working on windows, you should try using the GetKeyState function inside a loop that runs over a specified interval:

#include 
#include 
#include 

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
     bool shouldExit = false;

     do{
          if(GetKeyState(VK_LEFT)<0){
               cout<<"left key pressed!\n"; //movePlayerToLeft();
          }else if(GetKeyState(VK_RIGHT)<0){
               cout<<"right key pressed!\n"; //movePlayerToRight();
          }else if(GetKeyState(VK_UP)<0){
               shouldExit = true;
          }
          Sleep(100);
     }while ( !shouldExit );

}

The above example should work.
you can change Sleep(100) so as to make the program respond faster or slower.
