Many of the games are disabled by default on Ubuntu. But we can enable some games and build from source with:
apt-get source bsdgames
cd bsdgames-*
sed -ri '/^bsd_games_cfg_no_build_dirs=/s/ number / /' config.params
./configure
make -j
Here we enabled the game number, so now we can:
number/number 123
which gives:
one hundred twenty-three.
We can also "install" it locally with:
make install
which puts the games locally under:
debian/bsdgames/usr/games/number
which you can add to your PATH environment variable.
Tested on Ubuntu 24.04, bsdgames 2.17.
