I was wondering if there was a way to control the cursor on Linux and use a C/C++ program to make a certain 'output' appear on the screen in any co-ordinate we want for a specific period of time?

you could use 1) ncurses or 2) vt100 mode api calls. There are probably other ways too, such as termcap
