Neat idea, I really like it.

The only comment I have is that the `__main__.py` looks like a bit like spaghetti with ~1200 lines, multiple classes, and scattered global state. Not really a big deal unless you plan on growing the project or using it as a portfolio piece. Also in my opinion the project really is a prime portfolio piece, it shows creativity, polish, and theoretical understanding.

Yeah. I rewrote the code with a state machine pattern but haven't uploaded the new code yet

@davemp, I just uploaded the new code, a total rewrite.

Looks much cleaner.

Again, I really like the project and encourage you to dive deeper into progamming language theory.
