Your program is fun! But allow me to suggest the following change:

in your main program, you have the statement:

   attr.override_redirect = 1;

This is an *extremely* unfriendly way to write an application, particularly
with sticky focus window managers. (I wasn't able to type 'q' in your window
because my focus was set to another window, and the window manager
had no knowledge of your window (because of the above statement)).

The only time you should use this feature is for menus and modal dialogs
which demand user attention.

Otherwise, I enjoyed running it!
