Demonstration of Ncurses from C: ./fireworks

Notes

Sadly, the numerous other games in this package rely entirely on a non-functioning Fortran precursor to Curses, carefully written for 6 different terminal types, before terminal emulation was popular. One would likely have to port the games not included here to use Ncurses, no small feat.
