Time help- making a MUD

[theillbehaviored]

Hey, im making a single player MUD and I want to make it so after the user inputs a command, the program makes a pause before a response; for example if they begin to travel to the north, I want the program to wait 5 seconds before moving them into the other room so it gives the illusion of real movement. You get the idea, please help me.

Thank you very much

So what exactly is your question? If you're asking how to wait for 5 seconds then use a sleep function:

sleep( 5000 ); // 5000ms
