Meta Sequences in Vim

Terminals are weird. If you type read -r in a shell then hold Alt and tap a, you may be surprised to see ^[a glaring at you.

Why?

Your terminal encodes Alt-a (referred to as <m-a> in vim) as two bytes: Escape (referred to as <esc> in vim) followed by a. This encoding scheme has been used for decades and allows your terminal to send escape sequences like

  This game is for Unix only.
  
  It is a simple yet easily navigable Tic-Tac-Toe game for the Unix terminal. To run this file, go
  to your awesome Unix terminal (after you have downloaded this text file, of course) and
  navigate to this file. Then, compile and link the program with your handy compiler (which will
  almost definitely be installed unless you have removed it) using the command 'gcc TicTacToe.c'.
  This creates an executeable. To run it, you can simply type './a.out'. If you want to have a more
  memorable file and/or prevent conflicts, simply change the name with the 'mv' tool
  ('mv a.out TicTacToe') or use the '-o' ("output file") when compiling

This is a very bubbly yet simple animation in python's Tkinter.

A lot of turquoise circles start positioned at the bottom of the Tkinter panel when
it opens. Then, on a blue background, The bubbles float fall upwards. Depending on their
size, the rise at different speeds: the bigger the faster. When they reach the top, they
apparently disappear and start back below the bottom of the screen and float back into
view. It's really fun to watch it for a minute or so.
