Earlier 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 ' '.

Oh 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.

Funny that. I just forked and fired up Sprunge yesterday. Works great: http://paste.stackgeek.com/
