Non-chronological practice from The Big Book of Small Python Projects by Al Sweigart.

The contents of this book can be found (at the time of writing), here: https://inventwithpython.com/bigbookpython/

The goal of going through these mini-projects is to encounter
interesting techniques and data structures for solving simple problems
with Python.

Added features that allow the user to:

• Change the grid size of the game
• Change the number of iterations allowed for the game
• Change the time in between iterations

Explored the ideas of composing classes together.
Worked with generators and the zip() built in function

Was reminded that main() is just a function that can be called within itself, à la recursion.

Learned that a tesselation requires minimal starting shapes.
Became familiar with python's argparse module for handling commandline arguments.

Re-learned the magical utility of the modulo operator, for repeating sequence of things.

I created a separate .py file to store the bitmap pattern, rather than store the pattern
inside the same py file as the general script.

Un-learned the now-automatic practice of first accumulating a string using a a list,
then using .join() to make the string.You can instead print characters as you need them.

Learned what "flushing" output,to prevent it from being buffered, is.
Experimented with the rich library for text formatting

Learned that the {} delimeter of the str.format() method can be pre-defined
in the string, then formatted later.

Added more DNA variants, including a representation of DNA inspired by the film Blade Runner 2049.

Used classes to enable those other DNA variants

Learned how to achieve the effects of a chain of if-elif-elif.. condtions with a dictionary-based approach.
Changed the nouns, places, and states so that they live in files, as opposed to inside the python script itself.
Used a considerably larger word list overall.

Learned about the '\b' escape character for back-spacing.

Used more functions to split the load of the original getProgressBar function.

Addded the ability to specify how much 'data' to 'download'.

Added a display mode where the 'downloaded data' is displayed as stacked chunks, that look like a ladder.

Experimented with manual text formatting (especially with justifying text)

Added output that:

• only shows, at most, 10 recently rolled dice (all dice are still seen as the output of each new die in a roll is
  printed on a new line, along with at most 9 other dice rolled before it)
• indicates a reduction of points in red text, and an increase of points in green text

Experimented more with the typing, and collections modules
