sausage is a terminal word forming game, written in Bash.

This game was inspired by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookworm_(video_game).

The aim is to score points by creating words, moving around in six directions in the grid, using consecutive letters.

When the user created longer words, coloured letters appear. The user can score more points by using these coloured letters.

More points can also be scored, when the user manages to create the bonus words.

When smaller words are created, or low point yielding words, red letters appear in the grid. If not used, these red letters will drop one cell in every turn.

When a red letter reaches beyond the bottom of the grid, the game is over.

The user can also reshuffle the letters in the grid, in order to be able to create words. However, there is a price to this action: the existing red letters will drop one cell, all other bonus coloured letters will be lost, and more red letters will appear.

If the score is among the 10 best scores achieved, it makes it in the Top Ten Highscores.

This game is named sausage as a tribute to BlackAdder S03E02: Ink and Incapability:

Renowned writer and lexicographer Dr. Samuel Johnson starts to read a tiny scrap of paper containing Baldrick's miniscule novel:

Once upon a time, there was a lovely little sausage called...

...only to realize that after 18 years of arduous work, he failed to include the word SAUSAGE in his magnum opus.

https://gitlab.com/christosangel/deshuffle

deshuffle is a terminal word puzzle game, written in Bash.

The simple aim is to put all the given letters in order to find the shuffled word against the clock. The time available after a number of words also reduces, so the game gets harder as it goes.

There is not only one solution to every puzzle. If the user find a word with the same letters, the solution will be accepted.

By default, the adjusted definitions of the words appear in the end of each round.

The game ends when the user fails to find the word in time, or fails to create an acceptable solution altogether.

If the score is among the 10 best scores achieved, it makes it in the Top Ten Highscores.

https://gitlab.com/christosangel/troblo

troblo is a terminal match-three game, written in Bash.

The aim is to place each time a pair of new tiles with fixed orientation on available empty squares of the 6x6 grid, in order to create rows or columns of three or more matching tiles, which will become empty again.

The new pair of fixed orientation tiles is shown each time at the right side of the grid.

The new pair can be placed only if both selected squares are empty.

The game ends when the grid becomes so clogged with unmatching tiles, and there is no place in the grid to drop the new fixed orientation (horizontal or vertical) pair of tiles.

This game was inspired by https://368chickens.com/.

https://gitlab.com/christosangel/tuifoop

tuifoop is a terminal puzzle game.

It is a clone of Swell Foop, written in Bash.

The aim is to remove as many cells as possible (or even all cells) from a grid. The user navigates in the grid using the navigation keys, and can select a cell to remove. Cells can be removed in clusters of more than one cells adjacent to each other. Single cells cannot be removed.

When selected, a cluster of adjacent similar cells is removed, and the remaining cells above take their place.

When a whole grid column is cleared, it collapses and the remaining columns to the right shift to fill its place.

IMPORTANT:

Most themes are based in emoji characters.

In order for the emoji characters to be rendered correctly, the user must:

1. Make sure that emoji characters are supported in their terminal.

2. Make sure suitable mono font is used to render the grid and the emoji backgound properly. For instance, ubuntu font can support emojis, however the font background is not rendered correctly, therefore the grid cursor (where the cursor is placd in the cell matrix) cannot be seen in the terminal window.

If a problem is encountered as this is concerned, it is easily resolved by changing to a more appropriate font through terminal application's preferences or configuration, so that the emojis as well as the grid are rendered correctly.

tuiplette is a terminal match-three game, written in Bash.

The aim is to gain points by swapping two adjacent grid cells to create rows or columns of three or more matching cells, which will disappear and allow the above cells to fall and occupy the vacant space.

When there are no moves left, the grid will be refreshed, and the game will continue until all (configured) reshuffles are used. When there are no moves left, and no reshuffles left, the game will end.

If the score is among the 10 best scores achieved, it makes it in the Top Ten Hiscores.

As far as the appearence of the game, by configuring the game accordinly, the user can select the game theme according to their liking.

The user has select theme between letters, numbers, greek, shapes, faces and blocks.

The colors selected are the configured terminal theme colors.
