java - Print many multilines strings at the same place -

i'd create little animation in console app , this, i've created ascii art:

(yeah, it's roulette)

i created same ascii arts ball in different positions (like cross on roulette).

my problem is, think, quite tricky: i'd print roulette console 4 times per sec (maybe more, not know) @ same place in order it's looks gif :). i've no problem load files (and transform them string) didn't find way rewrite @ same place (the "\r" won't work multiline text).

it great, if without using library curses (although i'm big fan of ncurses in python!).

i think curses or going necessary.

as remember (curses long time ago), there 2 points curses -- different terminals, , efficiency on slow terminal connections. you're going face both problems, depending on how terminals connected , how end wanting repaint screen.

curses analyzed desired output determine efficient way draw stuff -- should position cursor 3 times , draw things separately, or output multiple lines , draw them once? , character sequences necessary position cursor?

good luck it, regardless.
