• Once hit 0 you win.

Thanks and Happy learning!

#include <stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <ctype.h>
int main()
{
    srand(time(NULL));

    char cUserInput;
    char randLetter = (rand() % 26) + 'A';

    //Program prints a message telling the user to push a key to start the game.
    printf("Press %c to start the game\n", randLetter);
    scanf_s(" %c", &cUserInput, sizeof(cUserInput));

    double duration = 2.5; //seconds
    time_t startTime;
    time_t currentTime;
    char cUserInputUpper = toupper(cUserInput);
    while ((cUserInputUpper == randLetter))
    {
        //Once in game, output tells the player which key to push.
        //The key to press should be determined randomly.
        //Game runs until wrong key is pressed.
        if (duration == 0)
        {
            printf("You WON!!\n");
            break;
        }

        randLetter = (rand() % 26) + 'A';
        printf("Press %c \n", randLetter);
        startTime = time(NULL);
        scanf_s(" %c", &cUserInput, sizeof(cUserInput));
        cUserInputUpper = toupper(cUserInput);
        currentTime = time(NULL);
        if (currentTime - startTime > duration)
        {
            printf("You LOOSE!. Timed out.\n");
            break;
        }
        duration = duration - 0.5;

    }

    getchar();
    return 0;
}
