   Hey Andrew!   
      
    AA> https://github.com/TelluricDeckay   
      
   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.

   I'll have a looksee at them all.   
      
    AA> I may try a Rust library and give the app sound effects. But if   
    AA> that means too much bloat for your tastes, I'll avoid that! :)   
      
   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.o   
   g/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   
      
   ... Don't cry for me I have vi.
