This should either be hidden as private static members of a class, or made
static at the file scope level so that they do not leak out into the program's
namespace.

Done.

+
+char Keystroke(void) {
+  const char *kUp = "\033[A";
+
+  fcntl(0, F_SETFL, fcntl(0, F_GETFL) | O_NONBLOCK);

you can say STDIN_FILENO instead of 0 here.  You will need to include unistd.h

[dalesat, 2016/03/21 23:58:34]

Done.

+  char buf[1];
+  if (read(0, buf, 1) > 0) {
+    if (!upped_already) {

so, this is terminal specific and is probably not going to work everywhere...

As a slightly more portable solution, I have some code I can give you which you
can use to put stdin into non-buffered, non-echoing, non-blocking mode.  Then
you can just call getchar.  The nasty part, however, is that you need to be sure
to hook various signals (ctrl-c for example) and put stuff back the way it was. 
Otherwise, you will need to reset your terminal to get character echoing back if
your program terminates uncleanly.

A better longer term TODO might be to use Mozart to get your keyboard input.  I
don't think that this is an option as of today, sadly, because Mozart assumes
that you are using base:: message loop type things, and will not play well with
code which expects you to be using the mojo:: message loop stuff.

Acknowledged.

+      std::cerr << kUp << std::flush;

[johngro, 2016/03/21 22:10:46]

Why cerr and not cout?

[dalesat, 2016/03/21 23:58:34]

Force of habit. Fixed.
