💖 DOSSIZOLA 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to dossizola — section 6 of the manual, which is the games section, obviously, because we're fun here. this is the Isola game, and yes it has nice graphics. slay.

✨ NAME ✨

dossizola — Isola game with nice graphics. that's it, that's the whole vibe. a game. with graphics. nice ones. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dossizola [ -h ] [ -f ] [ -w ]

like, three optional flags, that's the whole thing, she's low maintenance. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

hi bestie, so this manual page documents briefly the dossizola command. just the basics. the highlights. the tl;dr.

also, fun lore drop: this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. so yeah, we made one. you're welcome. 🫶

now the actual game, because this part is iconic. the goal of the Isola game is to block the opponent by destroying the squares which surround him. the way that is so unhinged actually. 😭

so here's the gameplay loop, fr fr:

  1. each player must first move to one of the squares adjacent to his current position
  2. and then destroy a square of his choice

and the first player who is unable to move loses. that's it. that's the whole game. no cap.

but wait, there's more. ✨ Do'SSi Zo'la provides several extension to the original rules, by allowing several moves and/or to destroy several squares in each turn. so you can absolutely make it messier. main character energy. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h — Show summary of options. a little recap for when you forgot everything. we've all been there. 🙈
  • -f — Run in full-screen mode. take up ALL the screen. no distractions. immersive. 🌈
  • -w — Run in windowed mode. cute little window, coexist with your other windows, be polite. 🎀
