boxpush

A fun command-line game where you push boxes!

If you encounter any bugs whilst playing boxpush, please make an issue!

How to play?

• You, the smiley face, push boxes across the map onto the crosses.
• When a point is scored, the box turns green and the Score counter is incremented by one.
• A big mistake is pushing a box onto the wall - doing this will prevent you from moving it off.
• Once all boxes are on a target, you will be taken to the next level.

Controls

• w/a/s/d - Up, down, left, right.
• r - Resets the level you are on.

Parameters

The executable has a series of parameters that can be used to customise the game. These include:

• --map <width,height> - removes the default maps and appends a newly generated one with the height and width provided.

Coming soon:
--from-file <path> - loads a map from the file provided.

• The override parameters replace the default characters with the ones provided.
  • --override-player <text>
  • --override-box <text>
  • --override-target <text>
  • --override-border <text>
  • --override-background <text>
  • --override-tick <text>

Extra

There are Windows and *nix binaries in each release. The Windows binary is substantially larger because I compile it with the -static flag (I am a Linux dev, compile it yourself, nerd). The Windows build uses non-unicode characters as the (rather mediocre) Command Prompt does not support them.
