worth noting that this is Linux only. doing it on Windows is a
little different.
Working with console/terminal input and output can get
surprisingly complex, and doing it cross-platform is easiest with
a library.
Robik's consoleD is one:
https://github.com/robik/ConsoleD/blob/master/consoled.d
it focuses on enabling color and drawing mainly, and also has
functions to turn off the line buffering and getch().
If you use his library, you can do this:
import consoled;
void main() {
int a = getch(); // gets just one character
writecln(a); // prints back out what you got
}
and other nice things.
