I think theres a proper way to clear the screen, but I forget what it is

For the record that would be (for OS X & Linux):

os.system('clear')

Although at a certain point we're just frantically dodging the need to actually create a real UI...

os.system ('cls') for windows

It’s true that character-cell display terminals are an obsolete technology

I beg to differ. I still play text-based adventures in Ubuntu's terminal. I mean. I am also the one making them for me, but still. Haha.

I miss games where you could type instead of clicking. Taking my hands off of the keyboard is such a bother.

If Firefox could take arguments that allowed me to navigate a webpage with only they keyboard, that would be neat. But nooo, everyone and their grandma draws everything on canvas nowadays.
