nPush is a mind-bending puzzle game that resembles the gameplay of Sokoban and Boulder Dash.
If you're looking for a challenging and fun puzzle/logical game, nPush is an excellent option. Similar to Boulder Dash and Sokoban, your objective is to collect all the gold on each level and reach the exit. The difficulty lies in navigating around rocks blocking your way, but you do have dynamite at your disposal to blast through obstacles.
What sets nPush apart from other games in the genre is its ability to have multiple player-controlled characters on the screen at once. Written in C++, the source code for nPush is available freely under the GPL license, version 2 or above. It's a simple project, making it an ideal option for those looking to work on their C++ skills.
Utilizing the nCurses library for its user interface, nPush is a terminal-based game. However, the game's internals are written in such a way that implementing a nicer graphic UI (like using SDL) shouldn't be a challenge. To play nPush, you'll need to access nCurses and SDL.
The latest release includes a variety of updates, including seven new levels, an option to configure keyboard controls, and a .desktop file for application shortcuts in menus. Additionally, the release comes with a nice PNG icon for the program. This version of nPush is currently included in Fedora 8 and 9, so if you're interested, you can install it via 'yum install.'
