## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

nPush is a small ncurses/C++ terminal puzzle game influenced by Sokoban and Boulder Dash. SourceForge project metadata records the project creation date as 2008-05-20, and the SourceForge files page identifies npush-0.7.tgz as the latest release, published on 2008-07-11.

### Projektgeschichte

The official project page describes the game loop: collect all gold, reach the exit, move around rocks, use dynamite, and control multiple player characters on the same screen. It also states that nPush is terminal-based, uses ncurses for its interface, is written in C++, and is licensed under GPL version 2 or later.

Public project history is sparse after the 0.7 release. The project remains packaged in Homebrew and Nix, but there is not enough source-backed evidence to claim a broad community or active long-term development history.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

nPush appears to be adopted mainly as a niche Unix terminal game and preservation-friendly package rather than a widely used game platform. Homebrew analytics reported 13 formula installs over its 365-day window and 3 installs over its 30-day window.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Users run npush directly in a terminal. Its package-nerd appeal is that it is a tiny ncurses game: easy to build, easy to package, and representative of the kind of lightweight console puzzle program that survives through distro ports and formulae.

For game players, the practical distinction from plain Sokoban is the mix of rock/dynamite mechanics and multiple controllable characters. For packagers, the notable traits are C++, ncurses, a small tarball, and a stable upstream release archive.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

nPush is not historically significant at ecosystem scale, but it is a good example of the long tail of SourceForge-era terminal games that remain available through modern package managers.
