I've had this idea forever, but wanted to make it work in the as a terminal-based application. Being a noob a systems programming, I got stuck at getting a PTY working in C that would properly forward the escape sequences from vim to the player's terminal.

I wanted to just create a program that was simply a layer between the terminal and vim, so all the power of vim was automatically available. The game was going to involve manipulating the environment (made of text) to different goals. I had all sorts of minigames in my head. Unfortunately, way too ambitious, and I never even properly started it. This makes me really want to though, if only I had more time..
