I wish we could do this easily with emacs

hydras are more or less this.

I think that this project is about displaying information graphically in a textual interface. I think with emacs you can do so but it's difficult. I think hydras are not this. Hydras are more or less for grouping commands together.

The chess game screenshot sort of reminded me of the StarTrek game DEC used to leave running in their showrooms in the 70's and 80's: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Star_Trek_text_game.... I remember being kicked out by salesmen many times while sitting there playing. They seemed very annoyed that no adults "got it", but many kids did.

I remember playing StarTrek on one of these in my 7th grade math class: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/computinghistory/la36.html
