Thanks for sharing this and writing up your experiences making it! As the title says, I have two small suggestions.
First, and just fyi for your README, this built for me on macOS (10.12.6) without trouble (I already have the build tools installed for gcc, but many people checking out the repo will too). I have a fair number of packages installed via Homebrew already, but I haven't installed ncurses. Anyhow, you might mention that Apple users can likely try it out too.
Second, maybe consider swapping your default task in the Makefile from run to build? I found it disconcerting to hit make and to end up in the editor. I found it even more disconcerting to have the executable disappear after I quit it! I like the neatness of run for people just trying it out, but it was confusing at first. However you go on the default, maybe say something in the README about the Makefile. (All of this said, it's my own fault for not reading the Makefile before I ran make!)
