termcade

A terminal arcade with sandboxed WebAssembly games. It includes Asteroid, Tetris and Brickough. Use a truecolor terminal at least 80×24 cells.

Install

Linux and macOS (x86_64 or arm64), using prebuilt binaries:

With curl:

curl -fsSL https://termca.de/install | sh

Or with mise:

mise use --global github:aviorstudio/termcade@latest

The shell installer verifies the release checksum and installs to ~/.local/bin; add that directory to your PATH if necessary. Mise manages its own installation directory and PATH through its shell activation.

Play

termcade
termcade add aviorstudio/tetris
termcade --help

TERMCADE_PIXELS selects quad, sextant, half or ascii rendering. The in-app Settings screen saves a preferred pixel style.

To create a game, run termcade dev new you/mygame, then use termcade dev build <directory> to build its package. The Go SDK is a separate module at github.com/aviorstudio/termcade/sdk; choose an exact sdk/v* tag from Releases.

Contributor verification

Tool versions and native tasks live in mise.toml. Prepare the pinned helper source and run the complete gate:

git clone https://github.com/nicodes/tools.git .ci-tools
git -C .ci-tools checkout --detach 091101094fedf5ce2e67c339c1c9c842d6a662dc
mise install
mise run check

Native build and test commands retain source and output checks, with receipts in .artifacts/verification. Existing product release rules and artifacts remain owned by this repository. End users install the product’s published distribution.
