I would just have a dict with entries for each trait. And a func
changePointDispatch(trait, number, sign)
Sign is here a flag saying more/less. If more, check there is enough in pool,
else send error message, remove it and add to the trait. If less,...
The loop, as you say, just repetitively asks for a command and calls the func,
until a code saying bastà!
Maybe you have better ideas. Object-orientation would be nice but seems a bit
overkill here (just an opinion).
The design side of the problem is to get a practicle & friendly interface to
the user.
