xswordsx / Ruby-RPG

8-bit RPG

Hello everyone! This my university project for the course 'Programming with Ruby' In the following days the game will be under heavy development so stay tuned.

How to run the game under Linux

You need to have Ruby installed (2.1.0 is recomended)

I recommend installing it with RVM

After you've installed ruby you will need to install libncursesw5-dev

Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libncursesw5-dev (This will allow curses to run with unicode characters)

Now install the curses gem

Ubuntu: gem install curses

Clone this repository somewhere on your computer, open a terminal and move to the destination folder

• cd /path/to/where/you/want/to/clone/the/repository
• git clone https://github.com/xswordsx/Ruby-RPG or download the archive and extract it there
• cd Ruby-RPG

Now run the ui.rb

ruby ui.rb

Enjoy the game :)
