✨ NAME ✨

vonsh — a Snake-like game that has literally zero special twists and turns. bestie it's snake. it's iconic. it's giving "arcade classic but make it yours" 🐍💖

so this is a section 6 page from the Games Manual, which is the vibe we're operating in, and honestly? correct placement. no notes. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the whole situation: you lead your men, you gather food, and you avoid obstacles. that's the loop. that's the dream. 💫

the game has an arcade style and dynamic gameplay — and lowkey, it's built on libSDL, which is the little engine that could. 🎀

🦋 USAGE 🦋

two ways to enter the chat, depending on how you got here:

  1. if the game was installed from a package — click the "Vonsh" icon in your system menu, or just type vonsh in the terminal. slay, easy, one tap. 💅
  2. if the project was built independently — type ./usr/games/vonsh from the project directory. yep, exactly like that, from the project directory. 🙈

you can configure and start the game from a (hopefully) self-explanatory menu — and honestly, the menu is giving "I got you, bestie". the configurable settings live in the "Options" menu. 🌈

⚠️ heads up babes: the minimum allowed board dimensions are 28x28. do not try to be cute with a smaller board. the game said no. 😭

during gameplay you control the snake using the directional keys — or other keys of your choice, main character energy, you do you. ⭐

your current game configuration is permanently stored in:

~/.local/share/vonsh/config.json

and the highscore list is permanently stored in:

~/.local/share/vonsh/hiscore.json

two little json files holding your entire legacy. no pressure. 🍓

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • fps — starting the game with this option turns on the refresh rate counter. yes bestie, you get to watch the numbers go. we love a diagnostic moment. 🔥

💀 BUGS 💀

No known bugs.

not me being genuinely shook. flawless behavior. ate and left no crumbs. 👑✨
