About:
Ski is a terminal-based action game where players navigate a skier down a mountain slope while avoiding obstacles and the pursuing Yeti. The game is a clone of the classic 1980s IBM PC game, offering simple but challenging ASCII-based gameplay. It serves as a fun, lightweight demonstration of ncurses-based game development.
Key Features:
  • Classic ASCII/ncurses graphics
  • Simple, reflex-based gameplay
  • High score tracking
  • Lightweight and fast
Use Cases:
  • Terminal-based entertainment
  • Demonstration of ncurses capabilities
  • Retro gaming on Unix-like systems
Alternatives:
  • ninvaders – Another ncurses-based game, but clones Space Invaders instead of the skiing theme
  • moon-buggy – A side-scrolling jumping game with similar ASCII graphics style
