Problem with wgetch() is that I need to know when certain key is pressed
or released but wgetch only reads stdin and tell you what is there so
for example in my game when i press 's' my character moves one tile down
( because i typed s ) then he stop for short time and again start to
move down ( that's because the pressed key starts repeatedly print the
char to stdin... )
