okay so real quick before we get into it: this is the manual page for nsnake, and it's version v3.0.0 of the whole situation. consider this your group chat briefing 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

nsnake — the classic snake game, but make it terminal. 🐍

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

nsnake [-h] [-v]

that's it. that's the whole invocation. slay.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

nsnake is literally the classic snake game with a textual interface. you play it right at the command-line and it uses the nCurses library for graphics — yes, it's giving retro and we're obsessed. 🎀

the rules are the same as any snake game, no cap:

you control a hungry lil snake and your whole objective is to eat as many fruits as you possibly can. every single fruit you eat makes you bigger (main character growth arc fr). the game ends when the snake collides with the walls or with itself — yeah, self-sabotage is the real final boss 😭

the challenge is to earn the biggest score possible by eating as many fruits as you can. that's the vibe check. that's the goal. periodt. 🔥

controls and game settings can be changed through the in-game menus or by directly editing the settings file. your call, bestie.

🎮 Default controls

  • Arrow Keys — moves the snake
  • q — quits the game at any time
