* no installation * no dependencies (Ncurses not needed) * simply unzip in your Downloads directory, or any other writeable directory, and run; * or unzip onto a USB flash drive [w/same file format] and run. -----------------------------------------------------------
The 7zip command to extract the archive and maintain the directory structure is "7z x filename".
* Windows versions use runtime-priority control for arcade-level response.
Rebuildable using the free GNU Ada compiler.
Includes 3 retro arcade games: SpaceInvaders, Pacman, Frogger.
Usable keys for all:
* arrow-keys for movement; (see ~/docs/KeyboardMoves.txt) * you can also use wasd or ijkl for moves. * (q)=quit * (?)=help toggle
Can be called directly from the command line; e.g.
* bin\win\cpac.exe (from base dir) * cpac.exe (from ~\bin\win\ dir)
but it is more convenient to use the selector app, thusly:
* winArcade.bat (Win64) * gnuArcade.sh (linux)
Use the keyboard arrow keys to highlight the desired game, then press the (enter)-key.
* Windows users note: Using linux executables under WSL [Windows Subsystem for Linux] is not supported. Instead, you should use the windows versions because extraordinary measures have been taken to achieve arcade-level response.
* Similarly, linux users cannot use wine to run Windows executables, with this particular App.
