Hey in the example that I've shown, I've completely forgotten to free the memory allocated for the map before exiting the game (bad practice). So I've just updated the code.

hey! in the setconsolesize function, the arguments represent the width and height in pixels or number of characters of the console?Also do you know a way to shrink or expand the size of the characters in pixels giving the illusion of higher or lower resolution? Also wanted to thank for this video!

Please note `getch()` has been deprecated for decades, serves no benefit, and harms new users who may not have the library. `getchar()` or a `scanf` function is more appropriate.

We should limit the scope of the ncurses library to those functions specific to ncurses (meaning: getch is available in ncurses, but it has nothing to do with how ncurses work, and using it will create a dependency on something obsolete. That makes the code less easily portable. Cheers.
