Shapes Game
A downloadable game
A simple, light-weight, offline game for the linux terminal that involves putting shapes in a box to complete (and thus clear) lines. The game is lost when a shape cannot be placed, and won if the whole board is cleared, although this is rare and the main objective is to survive as long as possible. A version where filling the board instead of clearing is the goal it is also available.
Many customization options are included, from colors and shapes used to coordinate formatting and level of animation.
This game is fully a command line interface, all input from the user is typed, and the game board is rendered with escape sequences.
