Application crashes if not run in "source" directory
The application tries to load the images from the current directory, and if they are not there it crashes.
Best thing would be to embed the images in the binary (there are a few packages to do that, like https://github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata) but at least checking for the error would be good.
Also, when the crash happen, the terminal is left in a "bad state". I fixed by moving the termbox.Close() in a defer statement:
