Example of the code I want to get going.

test.c

#include <ncurses.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  int i;
  char buffer[512];

  initscr();
  nonl();
  cbreak();
  raw();
  noecho();

  notimeout(stdscr, true);

  intrflush(stdscr, FALSE);
  keypad(stdscr, TRUE);

  while (true) {
    int i = getch();
    if (i == 113) {
      break;
    }
    sprintf(buffer, "%u\n", i);
    addstr(buffer);
  }

  endwin();
  return 0;
}
