New BSD Games
-------------
You have a computing machine from 1980's  and you wonder how can you use it?*
You deal with a GUI-less machine at work and are looking for ways to kill time?*
You have to make a Reversi AI for your homework and you don't know where to copy it from?*
You have been so excited about the bsdgames, but have grown tired of playing tetris, snake and robots for billions of times?*
You feel they have betrayed you by bundling stuff like phantasia with a package you except to contain GAMES?*

**Don't worry** anymore as you've got nbsdgames now!

I originally made these to be added to NetBSD (but the few i talked with preferred to have games in the repositories rather than in /usr/games itself).


These include:

* Jewels (A game with a gameplay kinda similiar to that of Tetris, NOT my invention)
* Sudoku
* Mines (Minesweeper)
* Reversi
* Checkers
* Battleship
* SOS
* Rabbithole (A maze-exploring game where you have to gather items from all around the maze rather reaching an end,the idea maybe mine)
* Pipes (Same as the famous Pipe Mania, unplayable on the environments that don't support the line characters)

Prerequisites
-------------

* make (optional)
* A C compiler with C99 enabled 
* The standard library
* libncurses (the dev package if you are on debian-based distros)

How to run
----------

1) Download the files
2) Go to the sources directory
3) Set the environment variable PREFIX to the address you want them to be in
4) Install

Like this:
.. code-block:: sh  
        cd ~/Downloads/sources
        export PREFIX= ~/bin
        make install
