# 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 are the DSL developer and have cancelled the project because you lacked games? <br/>
|
|
Those creepy GTK/QT games make you cringe? <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!
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
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!
|
|
|
|
Play on xterm for best experience.
|
|
|
|
## 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!

|
|
* 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 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)
|
|
* Does anyone understand debian's .orig.tar.gz and the process to make packages to the repos? Any help would be appreciated.
|
|
|
|
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:
