Curses klondike

This is a text-based klondike game written in my Jou programming language using curses.

If you don't like colors, use the --no-colors option:

Setup

1. Install Jou version 2025-09-10-0400 using Jou's instructions. Newer versions of Jou may also work.
2. Install curses:

   sudo apt install libncurses-dev
   

3. Download the code:

   git clone https://github.com/Akuli/curses-klondike
   cd curses-klondike
   

4. Compile and run:

   jou src/main.jou
   

5. Compile into an executable file (if you want):

   jou -o cursesklon src/main.jou
   ./cursesklon --help   # Show help
   ./cursesklon          # Run game
   

FAQ

How do I exit this game?

It's not vim, so you can quit it like any other sane curses program (less, bsdgames tetris etc). In other words, press q to quit.

I don't like the rules that this game uses! When X happens, it should do Y instead of Z

See ./cursesklon --help. Maybe one of the options is what you want. If none of them is, create an issue.

Why did you write a klondike game?

Because it's fun.

Why did you write a klondike game using curses?

Because it's fun.

Does it work on Windows?

No, but Windows comes with a klondike. Windows command prompt and powershell are kind of awful anyway, and you probably want to use GUI applications instead of them whenever possible.
