Games for Linux and such

So much fun can be had with a scripting language and a terminal emulator.

Some of these were meant as prototypes; others were ports, made for learning. They all turned out fine games anyway and deserve to be here. There just wasn't any "here" for them until now. Check out the public repository too.

Lost in the Jungle: kind of an Oregon Trail-style game? idk;; originally adapted from an old book of Basic games for a jam;; this version is made in Lua 5.x for the command line.
Land/Lord: my personal clone of Hamurabi (yep, the humble classic);; written in shell script; requires Bash / Zsh / ksh.
Space Cruiser Orion: a Trek game with the serial numbers filed off;; started as a prototype for a graphical version, was worth keeping;; runs in Python 2.7 or 3.3+ with the cmd module.

See also Tomb of the Snake on the other website.

In more detail

Glittering Light: minimal rogue-lite prototype cut out of Tomb of the Snake;; ended up a graphical game with many versions and even a sequel.
Orion TT: port of Space Cruiser Orion to the Linux console;; native executable with source code included.
Jungle TT: native port of Lost in the Jungle with terminal support;; two different versions with source code included.
