BomberTTY

BomberTTY is a terminal based simple bomberman clone entirely written in C, with help of the ncurses library.

You can play with your friends with up to 4 players, each on a different computer and connected via SSH.

You can choose between 3 different maps, but you can also create your own with ease.

Context of the project

This project was made as a school project, which goal was to create a terminal game using the system programming notions learnt during the lessons :

This game uses threads, mutexes, semaphores and message queues.

How to play

1. Copy the repository on your computer

git clone https://github.com/eNiiju/Bombertty.git

2. Compile the project

# Install ncurses
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

# Compile the project
make

3. Run the server with the number of players and the map you want to play on

cd server/
./server <number_of_players> <path_to_map>

4. Run the client on each computer you want to play on

cd client/
./client

If you are on a different computer, first ssh into the computer running the server, then run the client

ssh <username>@<server_ip>
cd <path_to_folder>/client/
./client

5. Enjoy !

Create your own map

To create your own map, you only need a file. You can name it anything you like.

Inside this file, you'll need to write a character for each tile of the map :

• # for a wall
• for an empty tile (space)
• / for a breakable wall
• 1 for a player spawn point (You must set 4 spawnpoints)

The map must be rectangle and not bigger than 50x50 !

Note: The player spawnpoints will be empty tiles during the game.
