Ascii-invaders is a game project that imitates Space Invaders, relying on the curses library.
However, the overall gameplay experience doesn't quite live up to the hype generated by its visual representation. Created as an ode to the "good old days" of computing, the code invokes a sense of nostalgia that fills the hearts of many software lovers.
While developing the game, the creator was inspired to write a passionate diatribe about the superiority of terminals, command lines, and Unix-based operating systems. The inclusion of vi seems to speak more to personal editor preferences, though.
If you're interested in modifying or altering Ascii Invaders to work on additional platforms, the developers would be exceptionally grateful for any submitted patches or instructions. They're also eager to receive feedback on the game's performance on real serial terminals.
The latest release of Ascii-invaders includes a fix for the time() function. The community's ongoing support and contributions will be valuable in improving both the game's ascii-art and the source code.
