Quick STD::List Search (C++)

[Ajm113]

I am using a struct for the list and I want too avoid using a while loop for the search, because my render function is in a while loop. So adding while loops on render function the search will cause a non responsive game. I am working on font system where I can call a function like so:

Say(int ID, X, Y, MSG)

where if I call that function more then once all it will do is update the current message of that ID.

Can someone help me out finding the ID number in a list?

Thanks, Andrew.

Here's where you start learning multithreading. Put your search on a worker thread and come back later to pick up the results. Meanwhile you can service your player.
