Term Worm

I'm a fan of many classic games. Asteroids, Pacman, Defender, you name it. One of the old-timers is the Snake game, which I have known pretty much as far back as I can remember. Nowadays, it may be best known from mobile phones. There are many variants of this game for virtually every computer system capable of running it, I suppose.

Term Worm is my contribution to the ever-growing(?) Snake-playing world. As the name implies, this one runs in a UNIX terminal, such as Mac OS X's terminal application, an xterm, or a Linux text console. It requires the ncurses library in order to compile. This is probably already installed on your system; otherwise, you can most likely find it on your system's installation media.
