Games for Linux and such
So much fun can be had with a scripting language and a terminal emulator.
Some of these were meant as prototypes; others were ports, made for learning. They all turned out fine games anyway and deserve to be here. There just wasn't any "here" for them until now.
Lost in the Jungle
- kind of an Oregon Trail-style game? idk;
- originally adapted from an old book of Basic games for a jam;
- this version is made in Lua 5.x for the command line.
Land/Lord
- my personal clone of Hamurabi (yep, the humble classic);
- written in shell script; requires Bash / Zsh / ksh.
Space Cruiser Orion
- a Trek game with the serial numbers filed off;
- started as a prototype for a graphical version, was worth keeping;
- runs in Python 2.7 or 3.3+ with the
cmd
module.
Space Cruiser Orion is open source under the MIT license. The others are offered on a use-as-you-like basis.
See also the port of Lost in the Jungle to Nelua, and a friend's 3rd-party reskin called Syndicalist.
