Although Ciro Santilli is a big fan of plaintext files and of Vim, not so for games. Games must be easy to understand since they are just a toy.
Tilesets to the rescue!
There is great beauty here. Great beauty. It's pure terminal poetry.
The most canonical source code Ciro Santilli can find right now is: sources.debian.org/src/bsdgames/
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:which gives:
number/number 123
one hundred twenty-three.
We can also "install" it locally with:which puts the games locally under:which you can add to your
