More asciimatics features to use

[ymyke]

Just a list of things that could be used to add more animations to the game:

• Simple rendering: https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics/blob/master/samples/rendering.py
• How to cycle to different animation: https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics/blob/master/samples/noise.py
• Use bars for scores or other stuff? https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics/blob/master/samples/bars.py
• Use fireworks when won.
• Maybe small explosions when a player is hit? Or fireworks, bc they also show where the hit is coming from? https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics/blob/master/samples/particles.py
• Use speechbubbles and the arrow character. https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics/blob/master/samples/basics.py
• Use widgets? https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics/blob/master/samples/contact_list.py
• use the "fall away" effect at the end or the fire effect for cards that die? https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics/blob/master/samples/credits.py
• (Use figlet effect for new cards coming to the deck?)
• Super fire effect: https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics/blob/master/samples/fire.py
• Use the mouse? https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics/blob/master/samples/interactive.py
• Advanced widgets:
  • https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics/blob/master/samples/forms.py
  • https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics/blob/master/samples/experimental.py
• Use Kaleidoscope for start/welcome screen? or plasma? https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics/blob/master/samples/plasma.py

On buffering

Double buffering: Newly drawn stuff gets drawn to the buffer. A call to screen.refresh() will display the newly drawn stuff on screen. To clear the screen, use clear_buffer instead of the simple clear to prevent flickering.

On fonts

• Hack NF works well.
• What others?
• Is there a Consolas NF variant?
