idlerpg through a terminal irc client?

There's one running on rizon.

It's really nice and is GPL licence'd, despite the fact that Taito still owns the game.

The controls are a bit stiff, but whatever.

sudo apt-get install ninvaders

yes I ubantuu pleb

Oh, I just saw you said you want idle game.

Sorry don't know of any.

apt-get has nothing to do with Ubuntu itself

>>542

But him telling us it is ubuntu saves us from failing to find it in the other apt-based systems such as

Astra-Linux, Canaima, Collax, Cumulus Linux, Damn Small Linux, Debian JP, DoudouLinux, Embedded debian, Euronode, Finnix, grml, Kanotix, knoppix, linex, linspire, mepis, M.N.I.S. OCERA, Ordissimo, Parsix GNU/Linux, PureOS, RAYS LX, aptosid, Univention Corporate Server, Xandros, 64studio, Adamantix, AGNULA/Demudi, APLINUX, BenHur, Corel Linux, DemoLinux, ESware Linux, Floppix, Gibraltar, GNUstep LIVE CD, Impi Linux, Libranet, Linuxin, Linux Router Project, Linux-YeS, Morphix, PingOO, Progeny Linux, Stonegate, Stormix Technologies' Storm Linux., TelemetryBox

What sort of idle game would you like?

A virtual pet? Basically tamagotchi.

A business builder? Slowly build profit, buy out competitors, expand business etc.

A drug dealer game? Basically above but with killing, bribes and prison.

A garden? Pull weeds, plant flowers and water them.

A shit disposal game? Like every once in a while you have to cull the population of immigrants.

These were just some of the idle games I could think of. We could probably make most or all of these with relative ease.

Alternatively we could make something completely different, like a game about a rapist. Simply text based. Every so often you need to make him masturbate. If you fail to do so he begins raping. With each rape his likelihood of getting caught would raise until he has to move to a new area with a random "police presence" level dictating the number of rapes which are unknown to the user. I could probably just do this as a bash script.

You could try a life sim like conway, there's probably tons of terminal implementations for those kind of "games".

I believe OP meant something like CandyBox.

Now you've got me hankering for some dev-work. I'll probably do something like it in Lisp for shits and giggles.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead

I prefer playing it with tiles (the SDL version) but most play it in text mode in a terminal (ncurses)

http://en.cataclysmdda.com/

It's turn based zombie survival roguelike. If you like crafting, creative use of the environment, survival, loot, then you'll love it. Of course, it's turn-based so you can leave it idle as long as you want.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataclysm%3A_Dark_Days_Ahead

On top of that, I'd consider it one of the best libre games there is around. It is under a Creative Commons licence and the source is available on github. They have many contributors, and the IRC channel is also very active.

Be warned: The first times you play it, you'll need to keep a cheatsheet or the Wiki handy, to look up the controls, and you'll probably die a lot. But it's a different experience every time, and you can take it thousands of different directions. Every game will go differently
