I am making a text based Tetris game in C++, to handle the key presses I am making use of the ncurses library function kbhit(). However, the library does not work well with the standard I/O like std::cout.

I only require the kbhit() function, is it possible to use this function along with the standard I/O ?

Edit 1: on using ncurses and std::cout together, I get an output like this

Without ncurses

Edit 2: My question is how to use the standard I/O alongside ncurses and not how to use kbhit() and getch()

_"However, the library does not work well with the standard I/O like `std::cout`."_ Could you please elaborate about this? – πάντα ῥεῖ Jun 11 '17 at 08:08

I think what you need can be found in the answers of the duplicate I linked. – πάντα ῥεῖ Jun 11 '17 at 08:22
I am doing the exact same thing, but instead of using printw() I am using the standard I/O. But, using ncurses generates additional spaces at every line. – CaptainDaVinci Jun 11 '17 at 08:32
