Whipped up this gnarly POTD ("program of the day") in a hot minute.
My AI homie threw me a bone.

It wipes the slate clean and spits out a rando number when you smash
the space bar. This bad boy only needs the standard library.
It's golden on Linux and Windows.

On Linux, where there's curses in the mix, we roll with that.
On Windows, we kick it with tkinter instead. Use this as your
secret sauce for portable TUI software!

If there are still any bugs, that's on me. Don't throw shade at
my AI wingman!
