Do you think it could be easy to make a CLI-based version? Text-only, for terminal

Thanks for the question, it's very interesting. I have never written dynamic terminal games. Theoretically, this is possible, there is a library that helps with this, but I have never worked with it before.

The biggest challenge is to translate the Swing interface into a CLI analogue. Actually, I wanted to upgrade the GUI to JavaFX, but for now other projects are taking up all my time.
