The game

Running

Don't forget to install dependencies:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

To run:

python src/jellies.py [-r, --replay <replay_file>]

The history of your commands will be stored in the file replay.log and you can reload a game from this file. Restoring from a replay file skips move animation.

Caveats/warnings

• the game can't handle screen resizes in the middle of the animation of a move
• the code wasn't written with good design in mind; this is not a code sample and gameplay may be rough around the edges

Why did you do this?

Great question. Yes, the basic shape primitive in this game is a square and no, curses does not support things that might have made this more reasonable and yes, limited cursor support makes things cumbersome. But mashing arrow keys into a terminal application displaying ASCII art has a certain stripped-down old-school charm and this wasn't meant for heavy-duty gameplay anyways.
