πŸ’– GALOIS(6) πŸ’–

🌈 NAME 🌈

galois β€” a falling blocks game with blocks of various shapes and sizes πŸ§šπŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

galois

that's it. that's the whole invocation. no flags, no arguments, just run her. iconic behavior tbh.


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

so Galois is a computer game of the "falling blocks" type, BUT β€” and this is the part where you need to sit up straight β€” she has unique features. πŸ’–

unlike most other games of that type, she is not limited to blocks made of four two-dimensional, square bricks. no ma'am. you can choose among:

  • several different brick shapes πŸ¦‹
  • blocks composed of more or fewer bricks πŸ‘‘
  • and even between two- and three-dimensional games 🀯

like... 3D falling blocks?? she really said "let me give you options." main character energy fr fr.

Galois is free software, released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 3 or later. periodt. πŸ’…


βš™οΈ CONFIGURATION βš™οΈ

wanna change stuff? say less. select Preferences from the application menu (if your environment supports that πŸ’€), or go Game/Preferences from the menu bar to modify game settings and control keys. that's your lil customization station bestie πŸŽ€


πŸ“ FILES πŸ“

  • <config_dir>/galois/galois.conf β€” configuration file πŸ—‚οΈ
  • <data_dir>/galois/galois.res β€” scores file πŸ†

and for the lore: <config_dir> and <data_dir> are the paths returned by the glibmm functions get_user_config_dir() and get_user_data_dir(), respectively. typical values on GNU/Linux systems are $HOME/.config and $HOME/.local/share 🌸
