The Linux Terminal
Some are new, and some are old classics. We hope you enjoy.
Today's toy, MyMan, is a fun clone of the classic arcade game Pac-Man . (You didn't think this was going to be about the similarly-named Linux package manager, did you?) If you're anything like me, you spent more than your fair share of quarters trying to hit a high score Pac-Man back in the day, and still give it a go whenever you get a chance.
MyMan isn't the only Pac-Man clone for the Linux terminal, but it's the one I chose to include because 1) I like its visual style, which rings true to the original and 2) it's conveniently packaged for my Linux distribution so it was an easy install. But you should check out your other options as well. Here's another one that looks like it may be promising, but I haven't tried it.
Since MyMan was packaged for Fedora, installation was as simple as:
$ dnf install myman
MyMan is made available under an MIT license and you can check out the source code on SourceForge .
Do you have a favorite command-line toy that you think I ought to profile? The calendar for this series is mostly filled out but I've got a few spots left. Let me know in the comments below, and I'll check it out. If there's space, I'll try to include it. If not, but I get some good submissions, I'll do a round-up of honorable mentions at the end.
Check out yesterday's toy, The Linux terminal is no one-trick pony , and check back tomorrow for another!
