💖 Biniax2 — the manual, but make it cute (section 6, bestie) 💖

Okay so you found the man page for Biniax2, and honestly? You're about to have a great time. It lives in section 6 of the manual, which is the "games" section, which is iconic of it. Let's get into it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Biniax2 — a logic game with arcade and tactics modes. Yes, both. She contains multitudes. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

biniax2

That's it. That's the whole summoning ritual. Type it, hit enter, boom, you're in. No flags, no args, no drama. Periodt. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So bestie, Biniax 2 is an original and entertaining game. Like, genuinely. It takes a minute to learn — a literal minute, not the fake "quick to learn" that other games say — and then it gives you hours and hours of gameplay. The way it just keeps giving? Obsessed. 🫶

There's a lot going on in here:

  • Three game modes total:
    • two singleplayer modes
    • one multiplayer mode
  • a hall of fame (so your wins are remembered, main character behaviour 👑)
  • dynamic music
  • a nice cartoon look 🌈

Now, the actual playing part is really simple, and I need you to trust me on this:

You move a single tile around a field of pairs of tiles. That's the whole vibe.

You can remove a pair from the game board if one of the tiles is similar to your own. Slay. And when you do that, your tile changes into the other tile that was part of the pair you just removed. So you're always becoming the next thing, which is very growth mindset of you. 🦋

But you have to do this quickly — otherwise the pairs will pile on top of you and take you straight to the Game Over screen. No cap. The pile does not care about your feelings. 😭

💜 CONFIGURATION 💜

Here's where you can tweak your setup. Listen closely:

User Configuration File: by default it lives at ~/.config/biniax2/config

Values are simple, no cryptic nonsense:

  • 1 = on
  • 0 = off

User Configuration Example:

SOUND=1
MUSIC=1
FULLSCREEN=0

So in that example: sound on, music on, fullscreen off. You're welcome. 💖
