./dinonode-win.exe

There are two issues with Windows Terminal:

1. It has only 16 colors, so the game is not that pretty in Windows.
2. The default font doesn't display all unicode characters correctly. You have to set the font that is more suitable for unicode. Cascadia Mono or Source Code Pro work fine.
