I've seen some programs made with ncurses, and I think it would be really cool to use it in my project for school.
Problem is, I have no idea how it works and can't seem to find much, if even anything, about it.

Can someone maybe help me a bit? Maybe a little here on the forum or on some sort of chat.
What I really want to be able to do is, I guess, colors and stuff...
Like this guy has: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT0cz2GPZ3E
And this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjxBnVlgLyI&feature=watch_response (need to download the program to see this one - source files included)

This doesn't seems to be a big codebase.
This is around 25KLOC.So the answer is just read and understand
the code.

May be using IRC you may find a mentor to help you while you
digging to the code. Mentors are by default feeling free to help.

IRC hasn't been very friendly to me though >_>
Doesn't really wanna work for me - nor do I understand how to.

What is your project? You posted a video to a game, but I'd claim that ncurses is seldom used for games except as a thought experiment or for a particular genera.

More understanding of your problem would help provide an appropriate resource or example.
