Up-Down Game

Introduction

This console game was inspired by "I wanna be the Boshy" created by developer Jesper "Solgryn" Erlandsen. Due to an issue with the ncurses library, there is a slight flicker delay in Terminal on macOS and CMD on Windows.

Controls

• Up-Arrow: Move up
• Down-Arrow: Move down
• Left-Arrow: Move left
• Right-Arrow: Move right

Building from Source

Prerequisites

• C compiler
• ncurses library

MacOS

make mac-install
make run-mac

Windows

make win-install
make run-win

Building a .tar.gz Archive

# Create the .tar.gz archive:
tar -czvf ./src/up_down.tar.gz ./src/up_down

# Verify the archive
tar -tzvf ./src/up_down.tar.gz

# To get the SHA256 checksum of the .tar.gz file
shasum -a 256 ./src/up_down.tar.gz

TODO

• Add ncurses colors for the Player(x)
• Add more types of obstacles
• Refactor and clean up code
• Update README.md
• Add a global ranking score instead of a local one (SQLite -> Redis?,...)
