There's a way to access the screen as a matrix, instead of just using printf/cout. I don't remember how. On windows, use WriteConsoleOutputCharacter

Some code from something my brother and I wrote a long time ago:

// Init the window stuff
hConsoleOut = GetStdHandle( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE );
hConsoleIn = GetStdHandle( STD_INPUT_HANDLE );
GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo( hConsoleOut, &csbiInfo );

// Just cause
SetConsoleMode(hConsoleIn, ENABLE_PROCESSED_INPUT | ENABLE_ECHO_INPUT | ENABLE_MOUSE_INPUT);

void draw(int x, int y, char c, WORD color)
{
COORD Coords;
DWORD Dummy;

Coords.X = x;
Coords.Y = y;

WriteConsoleOutputCharacter( hConsoleOut, &c, 1, Coords, &Dummy );
WriteConsoleOutputAttribute( hConsoleOut, &color, 1, Coords, &Dummy );
}

curses on unix. It's a PITA. You can always use \r to clear to the beginning of the line.
