When I was a kid, my brother and I used to get new games for our Apple IIgs knock-off computer by magazine. That's right. The code would be in the magazine, and we'd do our best to
type the whole thing in, line by line. Often times, the games were flawed, imperfect, didn't work... but also... customizable. So now, I give to you, a blast from the past, a copy and paste
game for your favorite Python IDE.
All you need to do, is copy and paste this code, make sure to pip install anything you don't already have... then... make it better.
