Hey Andrew!

Bookmarked it and will definetly clone it later this week.  I am giving myself at least a couple days off while the dust settles on these latest upgrades.  I think I deserve it.

 AA> the program.

I'll have a looksee at them all.

 AA> I may try a Rust library and give the app sound effects. But if

Knock yourself out.  I have sound on two of the machines - this one and x86_64-heatsink-linux-gnu - both of which have the alsa mixer available to the 'linux' terminal as well as fbdev2 if you REALLY want to get fancy with the output.  I cannot get the unicode playing cards enabled on the 'linux' terminal to display (yet) but they could work in a xterm which I do have on x86_64-motorshed-linux-gnu.  ;-)  Check out http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F0A0.pdf if you wish to see what they look like.

 AA> These days, I play 0 A.D. a few hours a week against the AI with
 AA> a friend of mine.

I have cpat handy on all three machines, which is a ncurses based solitaire game.  The default in cpat-1.4.1 is to use unicode but I just use 'cpat -a' for colourized ascii output.  I haven't tried it in xorg yet so I am unsure what I'd have to do to get the unicode output.  I'll try that later if you're curious.

Life is good,
Maurice
