I have never tried it. But debian based + xfce, so you know what to expect.

This is a long list of terminal goodies: https://github.com/toolleeo/cli-apps/

Also, check the games that I have written, in the same spirit as this one:

I have no idea. On an old potato laptop I tried it on it works ok, if I rush the keys, it is flickering a little.

Sure, it is a Potatomatic 4000, 2nd edition. No, not Alacrity. Thx though.

Someone should come up with a new distro with the name potatOS, just for cases like this .

I am still using the arrow keys, I must be an idiot , too. If this script helps you with the vim movements, you can check out for the same reason two or three scripts of mine, in the same repo: tui-mines, mneme,tui-sudoku.

De gustibus et coloribus… I like bash.

It works for me.

About .local/bin/ not existing, or not being in the $PATH, that is why I also propose running the script locally, from the same directory with ./mneme.sh

Thanks, I am glad you like it.

I went on and added an if statement and a message to install.sh, just for the issue you mentioned…

Please return to windows.

It is not impossible. Are you up to modify 4 lines of code?

christos, 1 month ago

Wait up, I am preparing one command for you, you run it, and you use your keys as you wish. Just don’ put caps lock!

Here is the solution just for you:

• get to the tui-mines/ directory
• open a terminal there
• run this command sed -i ‘s/k|A/w|A/;s/h|D/a|D/;s/j|B/s|B/;s/l|C/d|C/’ tui-mines.sh

Run the script ./tui-mines.sh

You can now play using lower case awsd.

Let me know if it works.

And to see the correct cheatsheet as well: sed -i ‘s/hjkl/awsd/’ tui-mines.sh

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Since many youngsters who unlike me, a senior citizen, live on the edge and hate vim keys or arrow keys, have requested an alternative navigation keys set up, I have just implemented a configuration option that satisfies just that.

By editing the config file (either within the application or just editing ~/.config/tui-mines/tui-mines.config, and changing the NAVIGATION_KEYS value from vim+arrows (default) to aswd+arrows, the user can use the aswd keys to navigate in the game grid, just as requested.

No other commands or hacks are needed.

Arrow keys remain hardcoded, because they remind me of my youth, as an archer, during the Peloponnesian War

Welp, also solves the ‘Which distro to use?’ issue.
