I haven't tried this with C++, but in C you use kbhit(). It's possible this might work in C++ too, but it's risky.
Check out
in_avail. That may do what you want. I believe if you call cin.in_avail() it will return > 0 if a key has been struck. You can simply avoid doing the keyboard read if there's nothing to read.
