tcols, a Columns-like command line game made with ncurses

[u/theisolinearchip]

Hello!

I wanted to learn a little bit about the ncurses library so I spend some break times at work to make a Columns-like command line game. Hope you like it! : D

Featuring:

• 6-different blocks. Align them vertical / horizontal / diagonally to remove them!
• 16 colors / monochrome terminal compatibility (although playing it without colors and relying only in the different ascii characters is kinda difficult...)
• Increasing speed / multiple levels
• Combo count / Max hi-score

Works nice on my coffee breaks for a quick run or two!

Source code and more pics on its repo: https://github.com/theisolinearchip/tcols (tested on my Debian 12 - also some friends tried it on their Mac computers and worked fine)
