If I have menu choices I can get things to convert from int to string, I can get strings to print. I have learned a few things BUT,

I can use dbPrint to print a word (Selection) if the choice is say 1 I can get that to print after selection but it will only show up after I hit enter. Is there a way to get it to print as soon as the user hits the 1 key?

When you turn sync on you are taking control of when your program synchronizes. I keep hearing that you're attempting a text adventure. If I were you, I would leave the sync turned off. The problem you are facing with dbInput() is that this function halts program execution until the user types in the response. This is why it doesn't show until after you hit enter. If you still feel you need the sync on you can turn it off before getting the input and then turn it back on.

Happy I could help. When programming using DarkGDK there are only two things you need. You need to include the DarkGDK header and the main DarkGDK callback function. All other functions used really just depend on the type of program you're working on.
