Did no work all day. It's now 11:55pm and I'm starting. LOL.
Well, my generator still makes me laugh...

First thing, fix the terrain generator. Ugh. Will report back. Goal is to get this working and switch to blessed (curses-like bindings) tonight.
Fixed terrain generator. Didn't take me that long.
Next step, looked into using blessed. I looked at some examples and played around with them. I tried changing colors of text, writing text to different lines, etc. That all went fine. Then I tried to load in a blank dungeon file and draw lines to the screen with blessed. That went okay. Then I tried to load in emojis. Darn, that didn't work. Emojis came out as ???? question marks. Time to abandon that.
Ok, so next I tested loading an external savefile with unicode text as terrain. That seemed to render okay. I tried it in gnome-terminal, st and tilda terminal emulators and all seemed okay at loading all of these unicode, in monospaced.
Test unicode text:
...▒....྿྿྿.... ...▙.......྿྿྿. .┼..྿...☭ ..... ...●/..፨....ᛍ..
Next step is to build blessed into my full program file. Not looking forward to this. Probably should have done this from the beginning. I should still think about if I want this to have the program run as the "message of the day" when booting up a terminal. That was my original idea at least.
