Weird printw.

[Fredd]

After reading a tutorial about ncurses i was trying to make a pong like game, after a big struggle with finding something remotley alike kbhit() i found a "home made" version after implementing it i found something wierd.

for( ;; )
{
   loop_count++;
 
   if (kbhit())
     {
          key = getch();

          switch(key)
             {             
                 case up:
                     do stuff
                       ...
              }
      }
printw("%d", loop_count);
}

this code show the variable loop_count After you press any keys but if you replace it with printf("%d", loop_count);
it work like a charm... why is this and is there a way around it? since printf doesnt seem to work very well with ncurses i would very much like to replace it.

Is your prntf() the last statement in your code? if yes, insert a redundant getch() just before endwin().

Thanks... but the refresh() kinda made it work
