: I have not found this to be a problem; in both DJGPP and TC++, getch()
: seems to remove one character from the keyboard buffer and thereby
: turns off kbhit().  There may well be trouble if one /holds down/ a
: key, which is why I usually put a loop like this

That isn't the problem, though.  The problem is that the test only
determines the execution of one line.  Therefore, if you press up once
it'll execute ad infinitum while no keys are being pressed since the if
only traps the assignment of control...  This would make the code think
that control is being repeatedly set hence his continuous line of 0's.
