Terminal Games

A repository full of games for Linux terminals.

Dependencies

Sorry, windows users! These games require ncurses, which can only run on UNIX-based operating systems. Sorry!

Here's a good tutorial for Linux users on how to install the ncurses library.

If you want to compile every game on here, you can simply type this command into your terminal:

make

If you only wish to compile certain games, you can specify each one you want to compile like this:

make snake tetris

If you want to install the games onto your machine, you can use this command:

sudo make install

Once the games are installed, you can just type the game name into your terminal to play:

tetris

If you want to clean up after installing, you can use this command:

make clean

There's some configuration you can modify for each game in config.h. Be sure to recompile your game for changes to take effect.
