Windows PID Roulette
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
--[ Task Unmanager (Rust) — Roulette for your PC ]--
│ keeps killing processes Russian Roulette style, until your machine crashes
A terminal UI that spins a wheel of running PIDs. Whatever the arrows land on
gets killed. Earn coins per kill, spend them in the Shop on increasingly
unhinged "upgrades" until either you're rich or your machine isn't.
Renders in place — frames overwrite the same cells; no scrolling.
--[ Build & run ]--
-- powershell --
cd task_unmanager_rs
cargo run --release
The release binary embeds a requireAdministrator UAC manifest, so launching
it triggers the elevation prompt. There is also a runtime fallback that
re-launches via ShellExecuteW("runas") if for some reason the manifest
didn't apply. Pass --no-elevate to skip both.

No processes are off-limits. The trigger always pulls; the wheel always
lands on something; that something always dies (subject only to the OS
returning access-denied). Everything in tasklist is a valid target,
including SYSTEM-critical processes. Have fun.
Do not run this on a machine you care about.
