In Bash, normal local variables are usually fine.
But with local -n (namerefs) I noticed they can sometimes change variables from outer/previous functions because of how scoping works.
To avoid problems I started giving local variables unique names (with prefixes) instead of short ones.
Anyone else ran into this with namerefs?
Hey everyone,
I wanted to show what's actually possible using just pure Bash—from custom terminal graphics and animations to game logic.
I've been working on a project called Alchemon, a game written completely in Shell script that pushes terminal visual output to its limits. No external heavy frameworks, just raw CLI magic!
