Blocky is a terminal-based game that you can install on your Linux system. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Blocky on MXLinux Latest using the GitHub repository.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
If you don't have Git installed on your system, you can install it by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
Now, we need to clone the Blocky repository from GitHub to our local system. Open your terminal emulator and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/0xERR0R/blocky.git
This will clone the Blocky repository to your current working directory.
Blocky has a few dependencies that we need to install before we can successfully build and run the game. To install the dependencies, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev
This command will install the necessary packages required for Blocky to run.
Now that we have cloned the Blocky repository and installed its dependencies, it's time to build and install the game. Navigate to the root directory of the cloned repository by running the following command:
cd blocky
Next, run the following command to build and install the game:
make
sudo make install
These commands will build the game and install it on your system.
Once the installation is complete, you can run the game by typing the blocky command in your terminal:
blocky
This will launch the game, and you can start playing!
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Blocky on MXLinux Latest using the GitHub repository. With Blocky installed on your system, you can now enjoy this fun terminal-based game.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
