# New BSD Games
|
|
*You have a computing machine from 1980's and you wonder how you can use it? <br/>
|
|
You are a bored sysadmin with no work, and need to kill time looking busy with terminal? <br/>
|
|
You have Plan9 dual-booted with OpenBSD and have kept the OpenBSD just for gaming? <br/>
|
|
Your port of Linux to a fancy platform has no GUI, but you still want to find a use for it?<br/>
|
|
You 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/>
|
|
Your port of Linux to a fancy platform has no GUI, but you still want nice screenshots?<br/>
|
|
You have been so excited about the bsdgames, but have grown tired of playing tetris, snake and robots for billions of times? <br/>
|
|
Are you feeling that betrayed you by bundling stuff like phantasia in a package you expected to contain GAMES?*<br/>
|
|
**Don't worry** anymore as you've got nbsdgames now!
|
|
|
|
The games 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 (Conway's Game of Life made playable!)
|
|
* Darrt (with original gameplay!)
|
|
* Snakeduel
|
|
* Tugow (Numpad practice game)
|
|
|
|
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!
|
|
|
|
Or just enter "nbsdgames" at your terminal to get a fancy menu and play all sorts of games from there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Play on xterm for best experience.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* git (optional)
|
|
* POSIX make (optional)
|
|
* A C compiler with C99 enabled
|
|
* The standard library
|
|
* ncurses (libncurses5-dev if you are on debian-based distros)
|
|
|
|
To install them all on debian-base :
|
|
|
|
``` sh
|
|
sudo apt install git make gcc libncurses5-dev
|
|
```
|
|
## How to run
|
|
|
|
1) Download the files
|
|
2) Go to the sources directory
|
|
3) Install
|
|
|
|
Like this:
|
|
|
|
``` sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/abakh/nbsdgames
|
|
cd ./nbsdgames
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install # or use the binaries already compiled
|
|
```
|
|
## Platforms
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
They have been ported to Plan9 thanks to Jens Staal!
|
|
|
|
Thanks to PDCurses they even work on DOS and every platform with SDL.
|
|
|
|
They should theoretically work on OS/2 as well but I have not verified that yet.
|
|
|
|
## Packages
|
|
It is now on Debian unstable and soon on your Debian-derived distros, just install the deb from here until it gets to your repo.

|
|
|
|
|
Windows

|
## How to contribute
|
|
* Share these with your friends and others
|
|
* Your stars make the repo more findable in Github :star:
|
|
* Tell me your feature requests, bug reports, etc.
|
|
* Tell me the games you want to be added (but in the same genre, I can't port Angry Birds to curses! :)
|
|
* Make a package for your distro (or put it on repos if the package is not there)
|
|
* Getting it to Redhat and SUSE repos would be nice.
|
|
* Tell distro developers to consider adding these as default games, nbsdgames packs a lot of fun games in a few hundreds of kilobytes.
|
|
Also thank to all the people who helped in the previous versions, all what I requested was done! I didn't expect such an amount of assistance on this project :heart:
