moving turtlebot in simulation using a C++ program

I want to learn, how to move turtlebot in simulation using a c++ program. I am following ROS Tutorial Part 3. However, the tutorial used electric while I am using hydro. As there is no turtlebot_key.cpp in hydro, I collected it from this site. I Used roslaunch turtlebot_gazebo turtlebot_empty_world.launch and made the node executed. It is showing the following message.

Reading from keyboard

---------------------------.

Use arrow keys to move the turtlebot.

However turtlebot in gazebo doesn't move. I wish to know, does turtlebot_key.cpp work in hydro? Do I need to change it? Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you

You could use teleop for moving the turtlebot around using keyboard in gazebo. Use:

$ roslaunch turtlebot_teleop keyboard_teleop.launch

Yes, I can use this. However I want to see the code (C++) so that I can learn and modify the code to control the turtlebot. I would like to ask if someone has the code. Thank you
