getchar?

[JLFord78]

Okay, so I'm trying to modify a class project where we find our way through a maze (essentially a 2d array) using recursive programming, and now I'm trying to allow the user to navigate through it, using 'wsad' to move up, down, left, and right...my question is, would I want to use getchar? It seems as if it still needs a return to process, and I want the user to be able to just hit 'w' and move up...
2ndly, how would I go about keeping the screen from flickering when I do this? I obviously don't want to system("cls"); each time, so how would I go about rewriting just a little bit of the screen? Thank you in advance for any and all help!

Nothing in the C or C++ library can help you, here. Google curses.

You would need an external library for both things. Try pdcurses, that library can do these things quite easily

Alright, still looking into this, but I really think you guys have pointed me in the right direction, so I'm marking solved. Thank you very much for your help!
