Answer 1

You could use ANSI Escapesequences to move your "cursor" one line up:

void cursorOnLineUp(void) { printf("\033[1A"); }

Or set it to a specific position:

void setCursor(int column, int row) { printf("\033[%d;%dH", row, column) }

Haven't tried it for C++, but succesfully used it for a simple game in ANSI-C!
