 TODAY'S GOAL:
 
-* Run the ansi_parser on the whole UI so I can use colors and other glyphs.

 TODO:
 * panels and everything except renderer should use character coodinates
 * panels should know if they're text vs. grid rendered
-* panels need a background and border setting
 * Can std::any be defaulted to a noop in the events?
 * Save file isn't saving gold.
 * Inventory needs to be better, but need some kinds of "weapons" or other loot to get and not just gold.
