Thanks

  • Notcurses could never be what it is without decades of tireless, likely thankless work by Thomas E. Dickey on NCURSES. His FAQ is a model of engineering history. He exemplifies documentation excellence and conservative, thoughtful stewardship. The free software community owes Mr. Dickey a great debt.
  • Michael Bradley Jr. one day showed up and bought a Mac Mini, and set it up for my remote use, and didn't even accept my offer to pay, and how fucking awesome is that? ❤
  • Robert Edmonds provided tremendous assistance Debianizing the package, and David Cantrell did likewise for Fedora. Both are hella engineers.
  • Justine Tunney, one of my first friends at Google NYC, was always present with support, and pointed out the useful memstream functionality of POSIX, eliminating the need for me to cons up something similar.
  • I one night read the entirety of Lexi Summer Hale's essays, and began implementing her vision the next morning.
  • NES art was lifted from The Spriters Resource and NES Sprite, the kind of sites that make the Internet great. It probably violates any number of copyrights. C'est la vie.
  • Mark Ferrari, master of the pixel, for no good reason allowed me to reproduce his incredible and groundbreaking color-cycling artwork. Thanks Mark!
  • The world map image was made by Vecteezy, and is used according to the terms of their License.
  • Finally, the demoscene and general l33t scene of the 90s and early twenty-first century endlessly inspired a young hax0r. There is great joy in computing; no one will drive us from this paradise Turing has created!
