Rebels in the Sky

It's the year 2101. Corporations have taken over the world. The only way to be free is to join a pirate crew and start plundering the galaxy. The only mean of survival is to play basketball.

Now it's your turn to go out there and make a name for yourself. Create your crew and start wondering the galaxy in search of worthy basketball opponents.

Just try it out!

ssh rebels.frittura.org -p 2222

Connect via SSH to try the game. Only local game is available and there is no mouse support nor music :(

Download

Compiled binaries of the last release can be downloaded at https://rebels.frittura.org.

Distro Packages

Packaging status

Arch Linux

rebels-in-the-sky can be installed from the official repositories:

pacman -S rebels-in-the-sky

Build

You need to have the rust toolchain installed --> https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install. Then you can build the game with

cargo build --release

Run

This game runs as a terminal application, meaning that you just need to run the executable from your terminal with

./rebels

If you downloaded the binaries, you will first need to give execution permissions to the executable with

chmod +x rebels

Suggested minimal terminal size: 160x48. Not all terminals support the game colors nicely, so you might need to try different ones. Here is a list of tested terminals:

Linux: whatever the default terminal is, it should work
MacOs: iTerm2, tabby
Windows: tabby

Important: currently local bot teams are generated by default to make the game more enjoyable. This behaviour can be disabled by passing the -f flag to the executable. In the future, when more players will be available, the game will default to online teams only.
