history

Project history and usage

tty-solitaire is Murilo Pereira's ncurses-based Klondike solitaire game for the terminal, installed as the `ttysolitaire` command.

In package-manager culture it is a classic terminal game: small, offline, ncurses-based, and easy to carry across Unix-like package collections.

Project history

The official README describes the project as an ncurses-based Klondike solitaire game and documents UTF-8 terminal, multibyte C library, and wide-character ncurses dependencies. It names Murilo Pereira as the author and uses the MIT license.

The README's install section documents both source builds and package-manager installs, with the source example using the v1.4.1 tarball. The GitHub repository page describes it as 'Play solitaire in your terminal' and lists the latest release as v1.4.1 on 19 April 2025.

Adoption history

The README lists package-manager installation commands for Arch Linux, macOS through Homebrew, Debian testing, Nix, Void Linux, FreeBSD, Slackware, and ALT Linux. The supplied package facts add Homebrew, Alpine, Debian, Ubuntu, Nix, and Arch/pacman metadata.

That distribution footprint is the story: tty-solitaire is not a large platform, but it is exactly the kind of terminal game that package indexes preserve because it is simple, self-contained, and pleasant to install with one command.

How it is used

Users run `ttysolitaire` in a terminal. The README documents options for version/help output, number of passes through the deck, four-color deck drawing, and disabling background color.

Developers and package maintainers build it with `make`, install with `sudo make install`, and can run `make test`; the README points to ncurses documentation for the underlying terminal UI dependency.

Why package nerds care

tty-solitaire is package-nerd significant as a durable ncurses game: a tiny source tree, familiar build tooling, no service dependency, and broad package-manager availability.

It also fits the terminal-games lineage where package collections double as archives of small interactive programs that keep Unix terminals playful without requiring graphical stacks.

Timeline

  • Undated: README documents package-manager installs for Arch, Homebrew, Debian testing, Nix, Void, FreeBSD, Slackware, and ALT Linux.
  • 2025: GitHub repository page lists v1.4.1 as the latest release on April 19, 2025.
  • Current: Supplied package facts list availability across Homebrew, Alpine, Debian, Ubuntu, Nix, and Arch/pacman.
