MyMan

MyMan is a text-mode videogame inspired by Namco‘s Pac-Man. It has been ported to a variety of operating systems using the following for user interaction: ncurses, PDcurses, XCurses, sysV-curses, old BSD curses, old VMS curses, S/Lang slcurses, Win32 console, VMS console, raw stdio and termios, GGI, Allegro, aalib, libcaca, TWin, and Carbon. It produces plain-text and HTML screenshots which may give a reasonable approximation of how it will look in a text terminal.

Please refer to the MyMan project page at SourceForge for recent releases. You may also browse the project’s source code thanks to SourceForge.

Let’s start the list with a Pac-man clone, MyMan. Pac-man is the famous arcade game from the 80’s, and is still today one of my favorite games. The rules are simple: eat all the balls while avoiding the ghosts, or eat the fruits and chase down your attackers. Only the arrow keys are needed to control your character.

To install the game, you will need ncurses and groff present on your machine.

On pcDuino Ubuntu :

$ sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev groff
$ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/myman/myman-cvs/myman-cvs-2009-10-30/myman-wip-2009-10-30.tar.gz
$ tar xvfvz myman-wip-2009-10-30.tar.gz
$./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ myman
