Hey, like many bash scripts, this one is just a glorifief one-liner. But I use it everyday, I am biased, of course, but it is rather convenient, and prevents me from getting lost in rabbit holes.

Fair enough, you do you.
For the record, no rm -r in the script.
The only rm command, line 394: rm "${UEBERZUG_FIFO_MAGIC_TAPE}"

Indeed piper performs very well. Thank you for the input, I will most certainly consider adding the option to select tts engine in the near future, piper sounds totally worth it.

If you are referring to locally generated speech synthesis, the respecting outcome as far as I am concerned generally sounds generally poorer, and is more difficult to manage. However you can check out the original project https://gitlab.com/christosangel/sapo, where the audio files are generated locally.

I totally undersand what you are saying. Initially, the original project used local text-to-speech, but was less than perfect, slower and cpu-costly.
You can check it out here https://gitlab.com/christosangel/sapo
Once a FOSS solution gets better and more usable, swapping the tts conversion is not a great deal.

The objective of the game is to **destroy the computer's fleet**, before the computer achieves the same against you. You take turns with the computer, hitting squares in each other's grids. You have to guess the position of the enemy ships on the computer's 10x10 grid, in order to win.  You lose if the computer achieves sinking your ships first.
