Debian Games console packages

The 2048 game is a mathematics based puzzle game where you have to slide tiles in a 4x4 board in any of the four possible directions. Touching tiles with the same value are then merged into tiles with the added value of the merged ones. You start with a couple of 2-valued tiles and new tiles appear randomly after sliding. The target of the game is to reach a tile with a value of 2048 before the board is full.

Generates anagrams for a phrase supplied by the user, the words used in the anagram are taken from a specified dictionary which should contain one word per line (default:/usr/share/dict/words). It understands accented characters and should work with any alphabetic language.

Angband is a single-player, text-based, dungeon simulation derived from the game Moria, which was in turn based on Rogue. It is often described as a "roguelike" game because the look and feel of the game is still quite similar to Rogue (though there are now graphical tiles available if you dislike ASCII gaming). Angband has been in more or less continuous development since the early 1990s.

The ultimate goal of the game is to develop a character strong enough to defeat Morgoth, who resides on dungeon level 100. Upon doing so, you will receive the exalted status of "winner" and your character may retire. To achieve this you will need to explore numerous dungeon levels, defeat many foes and sift through a great deal of treasure.

Angband is a reference to Morgoth's "prison of iron" in the world of Middle-Earth, created by J.R.R. Tolkien.

You think of an animal, and this package tries to guess it... when it's wrong, you teach it about your animal.

To be more flexible and help educational aspect this game does not contain an initial database. This also allows it to be used for non animals like guessing of tools or locations.

Bastet ("bastard Tetris") is a free clone of Tetris which tries to compute how useful blocks are and gives you the worst possible brick. Playing bastet can be a painful experience, especially if you usually make "canyons" and wait for the long I-shaped block.

This game is the same as the old Blitz16 game on Commodore 16/Plus 4, written by Simon Taylor.

The player is driving a plane that moves across the screen. When the plane reaches the right edge of the screen it starts again on the left side, but drops down one line. Below is a cityscape composed of blocks. The player has to drop bombs from the plane, and each bomb which hits a building removes some blocks. As the plane descends it risks hitting any remaining blocks so priority has to be given to bombing the tallest buildings. The level is completed when all blocks are removed and the plane has descended safely to the bottom of the screen.

Chroma is an abstract puzzle game. A variety of colourful shapes are arranged in a series of increasingly complex patterns, forming fiendish traps that must be disarmed and mysterious puzzles that must be manipulated in order to give up their subtle secrets. Initially so straightforward that anyone can pick it up and begin to play, yet gradually becoming difficult enough to tax even the brightest of minds. Have you got what it takes to solve Chroma?

A graphical version of this game is available in the 'chroma' package.

Explore Colossal Cave, where others have found fortunes in treasure and gold, though it is rumored that some who enter are never seen again.

Colossal Cave Adventure (originally named “ADVENT” or “Adventure”) is the seminal text adventure game, written by Will Crowther and Don Woods.

This is a re-implementation of the “350-point” version, using the same game content from the PDP-10 source code of the late 1970s.

It uses the original text exactly, and emits responses slow enough to read as the contemporary terminal interfaces did.

Crawl is a fun game in the grand tradition of games like Rogue, Hack, and Moria. Your objective is to travel deep into a subterranean cave complex and retrieve the Orb of Zot, which is guarded by many horrible and hideous creatures.

This is the console version. For tiles, use crawl-tiles instead.

This is the Stone Soup version of Dungeon Crawl.

Unlike most RTS, you are not controlling units, but focus on high-level strategic planning: Building infrastructure, securing resources, and moving your armies. The core game mechanics turns out to be quite close to WWI-WWII type of warfare, however, there is no explicit reference to any historical period.

Empire is a console game simulation of a full-scale war between two emperors, the computer and you. Naturally, there is only room for one, so the object of the game is to destroy the other.

The world on which the game takes place is a square rectangle containing cities, land and water. Cities are used to build armies, planes, and ships which can move across the world destroying enemy pieces, exploring, and capturing more cities.

The classic game from the 1980s uses text mode graphical output, drawing your units, cities and the world in color. Commands are issued using the keyboard.

Freesweep je implementací populární hry Minové pole, kde se snažíte nalézt všechny miny bez toho, aniž byste na některou z nich šlápli.

A century and a half ago the Earth was nearly destroyed by nuclear war. Now, a federation of free city-states has begun to restore civilization. However, there are forces operating in the darkness which will unleash the horrors of the past age in a bid to determine the future of the human race.

Features of the game include random storyline generation, richly detailed character generation, complex NPC interaction, and of course over 150 different mechanical designs ranging from jet fighters to giant robots to city-smashing tanks.

This is the console version. For graphics, use gearhead-sdl instead.

GNU Go je svobodná verze hry Go. Má pouze textové rozhraní, pokud hledáte grafickou verzi hry, pak raději zkuste balíček cgoban nebo qgo.

Go je starobylá hra, která pochází z Číny. Vznik této hry sahá do historie staré více jak 3000 let, i tak někteří historici tvrdí, že je hra stará více jak 4000 let. Číňani nazývají hru Weigi, další názvy pro hru jsou Baduk (korejsky), Igo (japonsky) a Goe (Taiwan).

V této hře se každý hráč snaží získat větší vliv na hrací oblast, než jeho protihráč. K tomu používá možností ztracení, dobytí nebo izolací. Hra symbolizuje vztahy mezi národy. Go se stalo velmi populární hrou na celém světě, zejména v Asii, Evropě a Americe. Po celém světě se pořádá řada soutěží.

Hra se hraje na desce. Sada Go se pak sestává z desky, 181 černých a 180 bílých kamínků. Standardní deska má 19 řad na 19 řad, ale běžné jsou také desky 13x13 a 9x9. Samozřejmě desky 9x9 a 13x13 jsou obvykle pro začátečníky; pokročilí uživatelé budou preferovat tradiční rozložení 19x19.

Srovnáme-li to s mezinárodními šachy a čínskými šachy. Go má méně pravidel. Protože jich je méně, můžeme tak hrát více tahů a tak je Go psychicky náročnější hrou než předchozí dva druhy šachů. I tak není obtížené naučit se hrát Go, takže si hru pěkně užijte.

Gnuminishogi is a computer player for the MiniShogi variant of shogi (Japanese chess).

Matanza is a multiplayer game. In it, every player controls a ship cruising in space, aiming to destroy the other players (and, eventually, ships controlled by the computer).

A single player roguelike game with a regenerating dungeon, moria is the predecessor of angband with a full-screen, text-based, turn-based interface. It features scrolling maps, and an infinite (constantly regenerated) dungeon.

Moria's dungeons are populated by monsters, some of which are inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's books. The goal of the game is to find and kill the Balrog, whereupon the player is crowned King. Your player can be created from a combination of 8 races (human, half-elf, elf, halfling, gnome, dwarf, half-orc, half-troll) and 6 classes (warrior, mage, priest, rogue, ranger, paladin), and is measured by 6 attributes (strength, dexterity, intelligence, wisdom, constitution, and charisma).

Despite the package name, this is actually Umoria (Unix moria).

This is a collection of diverse textual games featuring AI, 2 player mode, flexible board size, color, mouse support etc.

It includes: battleship, checkers, fifteen, fisher, jewels, memoblocks, miketron, mines, muncher, pipes, rabbithole, redsquare, reversi, sos, sudoku.

NetHack is a wonderfully silly, yet quite addictive, Dungeons & Dragons-style adventure game. You play a character from one of many classes (such as wizard, ranger, or tourist), fighting your way down to retrieve the Amulet of Yendor (try saying THAT one backwards!) for your god. On the way, you might encounter a quantum mechanic or two, or perhaps King Arthur, or - if you're REALLY lucky - the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.

You should install a front-end for NetHack if you wish to play the game. Each of them includes the original non-graphical version, and they can all be installed at the same time:

• nethack-console: no graphics, just plain NetHack;
• nethack-x11 : original X11/Athena-based graphical version;
• nethack-qt : Qt version.

This package provides the plain console version of NetHack.

Netris je svobodná, síťová varianta Tetrisu.

Hra jednoho hráče je nudná v okamžiku kdy nedochází ke zrychlení a neexistuje žádné skórování. Tuto vlastnost jednou nahradíme.

Dva hráči mohou hrát proti sobě. Jakmile vyplníte dva nebo tři řádky v jednom tahu, váš oponent získá jednu nebo dvě nevyplněné řady dole na své obrazovce. Jakmile vyplníte čtyři řady najednou, váš oponent dostane čtyři nevyplněné řady.

Tato verze částečně podporuje roboty. Popis použitého protokolu naleznete v dokumentaci a ukázkovou verzi robota v příkladech.

NetToe je konzolová verze klasické hry "Tic Tac Toe" (piškvorky). Hru můžete hrát proti počítači, protihráči na jednom počítači nebo přes síť. Hra má hrací plochu o velikosti 3x3.

Console battles simulator for the online MMORG Ogame (strategic space simulation game): http://ogame.org. It allows to perform the battles simulation between one player and another one player (Multi-combat mode is not supported). The simulator can integrate in a script bot or can be used just for the battle result calculation.

Omega is a complex rogue-style game of dungeon exploration. Unlike other such games, there are a number of ways to "win", depending on various actions taken during play. The ways you can get your name on the high score board include becoming the highest ranked head of a guild, sect, college, etc., as well as gaining the most points figured from possessions and experience. The game (via the oracle) may impose some structure on your exploration, but you need not follow all of the oracle's advice. There is a "total winner" status, by the way.

This is the last descendent of the original 1976 Colossal Cave Adventure worked on by the original authors -- Crowther & Woods. It has sometimes been known as Adventure 2.5. The original PDP-10 name 'advent' is used for the built program to avoid collision with the BSD Games version.

Pacman4Console is a simple pacman game for the terminal. It is played on the command-line, with ASCII character graphics.

It has nine levels by default, and you can make your own with its own level editor.

PacVim is a game that teaches you vim commands. You must move pacman (the green cursor) to highlight each word on the gameboard while avoiding the ghosts (in red).

Vim is a great tool to write and edit code, but many people, including me, struggled with the steep learning curve. I did not find a fun, free way to learn about the vim commands in-depth, and thus, PacVim was born. Inspired by the classic, PacMan, PacVim is a game that'll give anyone plenty of practice with the vim commands while being a ton of fun to play.

Petris podporuje barvy a dokonce možnost zobrazení seznamu nejvyššího skóre.

Pokud je věc, které se dostanete ke kotěti, objeví se roztomilá animace (která byla získána z DOSové verze) a simulace končí. Jinak se vám zobrazí informace o tom, do čeho jste narazili.

Super Lotsa Added Stuff Hack - Extended Magic (SLASH'EM) is a role-playing game where you control a single character. The interface and gameplay are similar in style to Rogue, ADOM, Angband and, of course, Nethack. You control the actions through the keyboard and view the world from an overhead perspective.

The problem: The Amulet of Yendor has been stolen. Not only that but it appears that the Wizard of Yendor (not a nice person), who took the amulet, is hiding in the Dungeons of Doom (not a friendly place).

TINT Is Not Tetris(tm) ...at least the name isn't.

As the title suggests, this is a clone of the original tetris game written by Alexey Pajitnov, Dmitry Pavlovsky, and Vadim Gerasimov.

The game is as close to the original as possible, but there are a few differences. Nevertheless, it's probably the closest to the original that you'll ever find in the UNIX world...

Vitetris is a terminal-based Tetris game. It can be played by one or two players, over the network or on the same keyboard.

Vitetris comes with more features and options than might be expected from a simple text mode game. Full input control, customizable appearance, netplay where both players can choose difficulty (level and height) -- unless you must have sound (or just don't like Tetris), you won't be disappointed.

Rotation, scoring, levels and speed should resemble the early Tetris games by Nintendo, with the addition of a short lock delay which makes it possible to play at higher levels. (It does not make it possible to prevent the piece from ever locking by abusing lock delay resets.)
