That's not a bad thing. With the CPU at 100%, the program is working as fast as it can, which you want a game to do.

when you do something right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

you can put a sleep(1) in the main loop, which will drop the CPU usage below 100%, but for a game, you should be using all the CPU power.

thank you :) i didn't know that maximum usage is good. actually i'm a beginner and making small examples, so i would put that sleep(1) for not to have +1000 fps :D which library must i include for sleep ?
