Ski
A very simple arcade game
Latest Release: 2.0.2
About Ski
Some Python 3 silliness: arcade action circa 1980 courtesy of ncurses.
Back in the day, I saw something like this running on the school Research Machines 380Z. It was fast and fun, so I remade it from the ground up on my Dragon 32. I’ve hacked it up on various machines since, but not for a very long while. A year or so ago, in a moment of nostalgia, I came back to it and rewrote it (again), this time for Python 2. Since then I’ve updated it to Python 3.
How to Play
Just ./ski.py.
Hit Space to change direction. Avoid the green trees. Hit the red trees for a brief period in ghost mode — you’ll pass safely through the trees. Just keep going for as long as you can.
