The period-accurate way would be Telnet, right, and the fact that it's not secure doesn't matter in this case; everything's local

I went looking for a low effort embeddable telnet library and found this, but it's unmaintained. Looks like a nice API, though https://github.com/weston-embedded/uC-TELNETs/blob/develop/Examples/telnet-s_init.c

Yeah, that's doable. I've done telnet-adjacent things before but never the actual same protocols. Something to think about once I'm 100% sure it's stable, solid and has the other features I want.

Awesome

And it gets you screenreader accessability for free!

Yep. It's a funny irony, I've had quite a few people ask about a terminal mode version of this (or a screen-reader compatible version), and the whole point of the project originally was that friends of mine couldn't or wouldn't play my terminal-mode games!
