A `char` cannot hold a cyrillic letter, that's what the runtime is trying to
tell you.
Yes, Araq. Neither can Windows' console (before Win10, at least), since it all

TL;DR: It's not that hard to develop custom framework for simple 2D games in
Nim.
Well, I'm new to Nim, and to game programming (and game frameworks /
libraries), yet two weeks ago I had been working on some old game remake for a
month. (Then I had to stop with this pet-project of mine, since I

Unless somebody provides a good research on this topic, I dare to say, that it
is total BS.
BTW, many people complain about syntax with significant whitespace, and still
use whitespace to inde
Also note the command-line utility, `nimpretty`, which will not fix upper/lower
case but will at least make your indentation consistent, similar to `gofmt`.
You're welcome, and I'm very glad you didn't give up so quickly!
FWIW, I was not sure it was a problem with that version of Nim -- only that
when I changed the type environment enough to compile your code that it worked
for me on a devel version. In the future, providing more whole code context
So after reading "Nim in Action" I decided to have another go and managed to
