From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

troblo is a terminal match-three game, written in Bash.

The aim is to place each time a pair of new tiles with fixed orientation on available empty squares of the 6x6 grid, in order to create rows or columns of three or more matching tiles, which will become empty again.

The new pair of fixed orientation tiles is shown each time at the right side of the grid.

The new pair can be placed only if both selected squares are empty.

The game ends when the grid becomes so clogged with unmatching tiles, and there is no place in the grid to drop the new fixed orientation (horizontal or vertical) pair of tiles.

This game was inspired by https://368chickens.com/.

I love projects like this. It’s way harder to do in Bash, but that’s what makes it interesting. The unnecessary effort to do it right shows real skill.

Thx for the feedback, I hope you enjoy it.

If you want to make things even more spicy, try doing in pure bash with no external process calls. Things like cat are trivial to replace. I saw some uses of sort that might be more difficult, but it wouldn't surprise me if newer Bash versions had a way to sort arrays nicely.
