oxo

Hah, trust nolen to 1,000x something :))) I have used similar tactics in the past, but separately and definitely not in one day! For the interested: - Bad Matrix (tput blocks to the terminal): https://www.evalapply.org/posts/bad-matrix/ - Animating Text Art in Javascript (print text into fixed grid, flipbook-style): https://www.evalapply.org/posts/animate-text-art-javascript/... - oxo (format and print tic-tac-toe board to terminal, so I can regex-match for win/loss/draw results): https://github.com/adityaathalye/oxo/blob/7681e75edaeec5aa1f... But, I mean, that Bad Apple takes the cake! (edit: add missing link)

Bash Associative Arrays [1] are handy! Some examples of how I've used them: - my site builder (for evalapply.org): inject metadata into page templates. e.g. https://github.com/adityaathalye/shite/blob/b4163b566f0708fd... - oxo game (tic-tac-toe): reverse index lookup table for board positions: https://github.com/adityaathalye/oxo/blob/7681e75edaeec5aa1f... - personal machine setup: associate name of installed application to its apt source name, so we can check for the app, and then install package https://github.com/adityaathalye/bash-toolkit/blob/f856edd30... [1] I'd say "hashmap" is acceptable, colloquially. However, I don't think Bash computes hashes of the keys. (edit: fix formatting snafu)

Speakers on! Computer volume adjusted for speech. README explains gameplay and caveats. But why?!? For unabashed mirth and merriment, of course. Why else? Please enjoy beating "Computer Player" in your own home, in your own jammies, in your own shell :)
