# 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/>
  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/>
  Did you come here thinking it is bsdgames?*<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)
* 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)
* Trsr (Two-player minesweeper)
* Scissor (Rock-paper-scissor made into an original and unique gameplay. A genre of its own)
* Revenge

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.

## Packages

It's on almost every repo by now: Debian (and other DEBs), OpenSUSE (and other RPMs), AUR, Alpine, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonflyBSD, Minix, Homebrew (MacOSX) and more 
https://repology.org/project/nbsdgames/versions

Thanks to Elias Riedel Gårding, Zinjanthropus, Gürkan Myczko, Robert Clausecker, Sam James, and so many other nice people for packaging.

They also gave back code and useful feedback.


## How to compile

Have 

* 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
```

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
```

## Other Platforms

They 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.

## How to contribute
* Share these with your friends and others (including making YouTube videos of yourself playing, and telling every relevant youtuber and blogger to do the same)
* 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)
* Tell distro developers to consider adding these as *default games*, read and send them the **mail.md** text.
* Compile these with ASAN, play and find C-ish bugs.

Also thanks 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:
