Hi There,

The problem is you are waiting for a key press before the loop will
continue. Try this...

void main(void)
{
init variables;
while(!game_over)
{
printf("whatever");
if(key_pressed())
{
/* find out which key */
if(key(KEY_X))game_over=TRUE;
.
.
etc.
.
} /* End if */

You might need to clear the keyboard buffer before the end of the loop
as if you don't the program will go through the if again. Plus it might
be a good idea to put a rest(); in there otherwise you will get alot of
data flowing onto the screen and scrolling off before you can read it.

Hope I've helped,
Alistair
