Retro command line game of not touching the walls. Great for wasting time at work! Appearance is fully customizable through command line arguments, see below.

Install

    git clone https://github.com/harrinp/WalledIn.git
    cd WalledIn
    make install

Default install location is usr/local/bin

Reinstall

make clean
make install

Change Default Configuration

Open Config.h in your editor of choice and change any of the defaults, there are directions inside. Then install/reinstall. You must reinstall to apply changes in the Config file, recloning the project will overwrite your Config.h.

Walled In may switch to a dynamic config file in the future, but at the moment there aren't really enough defaults that need to be set for me to justify making one. I tend to err on the side of putting less files on a users computer.

Directions

Launch by typing walledin

Control with WASD

You get more points the further up you are on screen

Try not to hit the walls

Details

Fully implemented in c

Colors differ depending on your terminal and preferences
