I try to monitor arrows with my program but when I press an arrow my window is closing...

void init_game(char *file)
{
    initscr();
    printw(file);
    while (1) {
        place_cursor();
        refresh();
        if (getch() == 27)
            break;
    }
    endwin();
}

27 is the ESC key. I don't really understand why this append

The cursor keys might send escape sequences, sou may need to read `getch()` until no more keys are there. – Devolus Feb 16 '21 at 07:00
How I can read getch() until no more keys are there? I don't understand this part of your comment – dolor3sh4ze Feb 16 '21 at 07:01
