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.
