In the linux terminal you may use terminal commands to move your cursor, such as

printf("\033[8;5Hhello"); // Move to (8, 5) and output hello

printf("\033[XA"); // Move up X lines;
printf("\033[XB"); // Move down X lines;

printf("\033[XD"); // Move left X column;
printf("\033[2J"); // Clear screen
