Wow!! Mac OS X supports games via the terminal!

Posted by Greth-of-destruction - February 2nd, 2009


If you would like to go to these games, just do what is said below:
Hard drive > applications > utilities > terminal > type "emacs" > press "esc" then "x" > type a game that you would like to play!

Here's a small list of games available:
Tetris
Dunnet
Pong, yes, pong!
Gomoku

For Tetris:
Press up, down, left, and right, to rotate and position the blocks. Press spacebar to drop the blocks immediately.
Downsides: Spacebar increases the drop speed slightly, the width and height of the blocks is off, so by rotating the blocks, they become out of proportion.

For Dunnet:
Type commands such as "put", "eat", "die" (if you want to lose), "climb", "dig", etc. to do various tasks! It's actually a lot more fun than it sounds.
Downsides: it takes a couple of minutes to get used to the commands, and there are no visuals, but it is incredibly fun none the less!

For Pong: 2 and 6 are player 1's controls, and the up and down arrow keys are player 2's controls.
Downsides: The ball and controls are slow, so getting used to the game is tough at first.

For Gomoku: The basic connect-5. Connect 5 "x"s and you win!
Downside: You never win. :P (computer = tough)

As well as games, the terminal acts as "command prompt" on a Windows computer. Probably the one command I know on the terminal/command prompt is "ping". Heh...
