Pslange is a console game that mimics the popular snake game using ncurses technology. It provides an engaging way to pass time on the command line without the need for graphic interfaces.
"pslange" is a python-based, ncurses clone of the classic game, snake or nibbles. The objective of the game is to navigate the snake around the screen, collecting food to grow. However, if the snake hits the wall or itself, the game is over.
The project was developed as a small learning tool in python by the developer. Although it may not be the most advanced game, it is still a fun and engaging way to spend a few minutes.
Additionally, "pslange" has several features that are common in many python-based command line tools, making it a valuable example for those interested in learning how to implement these features in their own projects.
Key features of the game include internationalization (I18N), python setup, command line handling using the optparse module, and the use of the python curses interface.
To use "pslange," users will need Python 2.3 or later, the Python curses module, and an ncurses-capable terminal. Installation is simple and involves unpacking the tarball and CD-ing into the newly created directory. The game can either be started directly with the script snake.py or installed using the provided setup.py script. Both scripts have a -h option that provides usage information.
The snake in the game is controlled using the cursor keys, and to start the game, users simply need to run the script without any options. Overall, "pslange" is an entertaining game and a valuable example of python-based command line tools.
