Hello to all.
I’m writing my game using Opengl under win32 api system. My problem is this: when you get to the save page(in order to save your game) I’d like to allow user to write its name, using keyboard.so, how can I use functions as putchar or cin or similar commands in an opengl application? please, help me, thanks!
OpenGL is a 3d graphics API, it has nothing to do with input. It won’t interfere with your input functions.
BTW, next time try the beginner forum. This is the ADVANCED.

thank you for the advice, but I didn’t understand: can I use input in opengl or not?

You can use any input mechanism you want. If you want cross-platform game input, I suggest you try SDL at www.libsdl.org.
