Stop scanf from waiting for the user input
Non-blocking IO is probably your best bet. As someone who's spent a while programming for the command-line, I actually implemented a non-blocking read function for both windows and *nix, the output of which could simply be passed to sscanf. Take a look at the tglutil_read function from line 1092 here

I'm giving out microgrants to open source projects for the third year in a row! Brag about your projects here so I can see them, big or small!
TermGL is my open-source terminal graphics library, capable of both 2D and 3D color ASCII graphics in the terminal. It's written in C and only uses the standard library, so using it is really is as simple as importing the source files and compiling them.
- Created a terminal-based 3D graphics library written in C (/r/C_Programming)
- Peeps I found a cool use for your GPU accelerated terminals!!!
