About:
Greed is a classic console-based video game where the player navigates a grid to consume numbers, increasing their score and movement capacity. The game's core mechanic involves strategic planning to avoid getting stuck while maximizing consumption. It provides a simple yet addictive gameplay experience directly in the terminal.

Key Features:

Text-based interface playable in any terminal
Simple, addictive, turn-based gameplay mechanics
High score tracking for competitive play
Lightweight and fast native binary

Use Cases:

Quick gaming sessions in a terminal environment
Filling time on servers or remote machines without a GUI
Nostalgic gaming for retro computing enthusiasts

Alternatives:

nethack – Nethack is a complex roguelike RPG, whereas Greed is a simple, abstract puzzle game.
vim – Vim can be used to play Greed (via vim-greed), but Greed is the standalone game executable.
