You could use nanosleep, since there's no real sleep function in c++.

or use

#include <time.h>

void slp(unsigned int mseconds)
{
clock_t goali = mseconds + clock();
while (goali > clock());
}

then slp(milliseconshere)

Sleep is platform dependent, primarily because it generally falls in line with threading and there is no standardized threading. Win32 provides a Sleep function http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms686298(v=vs.85).aspx.

You should never do a busy sleep though, ever.
