# New BSD Games
|
|
*You have a computing machine from 1980's and you wonder how you can use it? <br/>
|
|
You deal with a GUI-less machine at work and are looking for ways to kill time? <br/>
|
|
You are the DSL developer and have cancelled the project because you lacked games? <br/>
|
|
You have to make a Reversi AI for your homework and you don't know where to copy it from? <br/>
|
|
You have been so excited about the bsdgames, but have grown tired of playing tetris, snake and robots for billions of times? <br/>
|
|
You feel they have betrayed you by bundling stuff like phantasia with a package you expect to contain GAMES?* <br/>
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Don't worry** anymore as you've got nbsdgames now!
|
|
|
|
I originally made these in hope of them becoming added to NetBSD (but the few i talked to preferred to have games in the repositories rather than in /usr/games itself).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 than 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)
|
|
* Fifteen
|
|
* Memoblocks (or Memory blocks. A similar game was included in Windows 7)
|
|
* Fisher
|
|
* Muncher
|
|
* Miketron
|
|
* Redsquare
|
|
|
|
They natively run on Linux, BSD, MacOS and are known to work on Windows as well (using PDCurses, thanks to Laura Michaels for providing advice).
|
|
|
|
The difficulty and/or dimensions are adjustable through simple command line options, you can play a minesweeper game that take hours to complete, or exprience hexadecimal sudoku and 8x8 fifteen-like puzzles!
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* git (optional)
|
|
* POSIX make (optional)
|
|
* A C compiler with C99 enabled
|
|

|
|
* ncurses (libncurses5-dev if you are on debian-based distros)
|
|
