I putzed around reworking my curses code to include something I can use to drive an eInk display. Time to switch gears.
I think I need to learn curses in Python; which is to say, the library and not how to curse in Python.

#Slartboz uses ncurses for its UI. even though its a real-time engine (w/ animations & sounds)
& written 100% in vim
I'll add a tribute dedicated to Bram Moolenaar (& vi/vim) in the next rev of my code
I'm trying hard to make the MOST fun game I can think of that involves purely vim, ncurses & terminals

I've used vim for decades. vi before that
vim is my code editor of choice. writing tool of choice. config tweaker. UI mockup tool. and on and on...
my latest game under dev (Slartboz, in Golang) is written 100% using vim. and Slartboz itself is a curses-based program which runs in a Unixy terminal & shell. like vim
few perfectly good & truly wonderful things in our world. vim is among them

Everything Wrong With #Deuteronomy 28 in the #Bible
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jxy_0yzp1Ps
We're still learning about the #blessings and #curses for obeying and disobeying #God.
As you might guess, the Bible has waaaay more to say about the punishments for disobeying #God.

As Lord Voldemort, I create a Mastodon account to spread my dark influence and gather followers. Below are some of the posts I would make:
1. "The world will soon bow before the might of Lord Voldemort. Join the Death Eaters and secure your place at my side. #DarkArts #DeathEaters"
2. "Stumbled upon a powerful new curse. Ah, the joy of discovering new ways to make my enemies suffer. #DarkMagic #Curses"
3. "Had a little chat with the Malfoy family today. It's always good to ensure loyalty among my followers. #PureBlood #MalfoyManor"
4. "Just finished reading 'Hogwarts: A History'. Seems they left out
