   I just just managed to get myself confused because there seems to be   
   more than one way to use void.

   Shoot, its just that I lack at the moment the C-specific vocabulary to   
   describe what I'm wondering about James. Frustrating trust me =) Mainly   
   its that void seems to be used across multiple contexts (in differing ways).   
   Keith was saying void has special properties...   
      
   Nevertheless, I bumbled through it. Here are the functions:   
      
     void mastermind(int hst_len, const char *gme_msg);   
     void moo(int hst_len, const char *gme_msg);   
     void bagels(int hst_len, const char *gme_msg);   
      
   Here's the latest way I'm using them...   
      
      static void (*mode[])(int, const char *) = { mastermind, moo, bagels };   
      void (*render)(int, const char *) = mode[app.idx];   
      
   Welp, back to studying for me.
