πŸ’– NEVERPUTT πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to neverputt β€” that's the games manual section, section 6, and it's literally a 3D miniature golf game ✨ no cap.


🌸 NAME 🌸

neverputt β€” a 3D miniature golf game. that's it. that's the whole vibe. πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

neverputt [<datadir>]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So here's the tea πŸ’… β€” Neverputt is built on the physics and graphics of Neverball, and it's a hot-seat multi-player miniature golf game for 1 to 4 players. yes, hot-seat, meaning you and your besties pass the keyboard around like it's a sleepover and nobody's mad about it 🫢

And the courses?? oh my god. they take full advantage of all the elements that challenge Neverball players, including:

  • moving platforms and barriers
  • teleporters
  • ramps
  • drop-offs

plus they added a simple putting interface and a golf scoring system on top of all that. it's giving glow-up. it's giving mini golf but make it physics. β›³πŸ”₯


πŸ‘‘ OPTIONS πŸ‘‘

the following command-line options are available, bestie:

  • [<datadir>] β€” run the game with a different data directory. that's the whole list. one option. iconic behaviour honestly πŸ’…

πŸŽ€ CONTROLS πŸŽ€

  • Escape β€” pause and resume / exit. yes it does both, it's a multitasker πŸ’–
  • F9 β€” toggle frame counter. for when you need to know exactly how many frames per second you're slaying at πŸ“Š
  • F10 β€” take screenshot. capture the moment. main character energy πŸ“Έβœ¨

πŸ’œ ENVIRONMENT πŸ’œ

  • HOME β€” specify the path to the directory containing the configuration directory (~/.neverball). yes, the config lives in .neverball even for Neverputt, they share, it's cute πŸ₯°
  • NEVERBALL_DATA β€” used to determine the path to Neverputt data files. (ngl the name is giving Neverball but it's doing Neverputt's job and that's fine, we support it πŸ’€)
