Fix ncurses compatibility: remove internal structure access

- Remove direct access to curscr->_cury and curscr->_curx
- Replace with public API call move() for cursor positioning
- Fixes critical build failure on modern systems with ncurses 6.x
- Build now succeeds on macOS arm64

## Next Steps
1. **Code Fix Required**: The `main.c` file needs to be updated to remove direct access to internal ncurses structure members
1. ~~**Code Fix Required**: The `main.c` file needs to be updated to remove direct access to internal ncurses structure members~~**FIXED**
2. **Testing**: After fix, verify the game builds and runs correctly
3. **Documentation**: Update README with any workarounds or fixes applied
## Fix Applied (2025)
The critical build issue has been resolved:
**Fixed in**: `main.c:241-242`
**Solution**: Removed direct access to internal ncurses structure members (`curscr->_cury` and `curscr->_curx`) and replaced with public API call `move(oy, ox)`. The `mvcur()` call already handles terminal cursor positioning, and `move()` ensures the logical cursor position is also set using the public ncurses API.
**Status**: ✅ Build should now succeed on modern systems with standard ncurses libraries.
## Additional Notes
- The README's Quick Start instructions are clear and easy to follow
