#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
> EDIT2: Huh, it looks like I was overthinking the level-advancing. There is no code for the problem I thought I was solving; I must have imagined it. Isn't this what `tput cols` is for? You advance to the next level when you reach the right edge of your current window, however wide your window is.
I thought you had to do some magic involving walking left for a little while before reaching the right edge. I'm sure a few times I reached the right edge only to be told I was dead.
It looks as though that was a bug which is now fixed. If your current level started with a . or a ~, you would die when you finished it (but that one wouldn't kill you at any other point). Now all levels start with a ' '.

#23Oh god, rupa's most popular repos are named z, j, sprunge, j2, and v. His blog domain is un.ix.io and his email is @lrrr.us. He sounds like a great developer, but I wouldn't want him naming my variables for me :)
don't worry those are actually commands. i used to use 'j', but im now using 'z'.

Not according to RFC 2822 (a mailbox is a dot-atom, so must have at least one character). Looks like he's actually using rupa@lrrr.us.

#28Do you suppose the author is a lefty? I'm right-handed, and one of the challenges for me was using my left hand on the WASD keys.

wasd is basically the standard for movement control in pc (as opposed to console) first person shooters
