# New BSD Games
2019-03-21 15:19:33 +00:00
<!To anyone who has been involved in development of this display system: f.. fu.. FUCK Y'ALL ! WHAT KIND OF HELLISH SHIT IS THIS?!?!?!?!??>
*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 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 except to contain GAMES?* < br / >

I originally made these to be added to NetBSD ( but the few i talked with preferred to have games in the repositories rather than in /usr/games itself) .
2019-03-20 14:16:33 +00:00
These include:
2019-03-20 18:01:58 +00:00
* Jewels (A game with a gameplay kinda similiar to that of Tetris, NOT my invention)
* Sudoku
* Mines (Minesweeper)
* Reversi
* Checkers
* Battleship
* SOS
2019-04-02 22:50:41 +00:00
* 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)
2019-03-20 18:01:58 +00:00
* Pipes (Same as the famous Pipe Mania, unplayable on the environments that don't support the line characters)

* Port it to other OSes with help from PDcurses (Not very hard, but there are incompatibilities between PDcurses and ncurses)
