Simple terminal-based snake game, written in C with the help of the ncurses library
Make sure you have ncurses installed on your system, as well as gcc.
ncurses can be installed via:
| Distro | Installation command |
|---|---|
| Ubuntu/Debian | $ apt-get install libncurses5-dev |
| Fedora | $ yum install ncurses-devel |
| Arch Linux | comes by default in base-devel |
| OS X | $ brew tap homebrew/dupes$ brew link ncurses --force |
Then, run:
$ make
$ ./snake
And you should be good to go.
Note: If you do not use or want to use the gcc compiler, feel free to compile it yourself.
Controls are fairly simple. Up, down, left and right arrow keys to move the snake, q to quit the game.
Holding down a directional key speeds up the snake.
