Awkaster

Description: Pseudo-3D shooter written completely in gawk

Bring some old-school fun to your terminal! Explore the dungeon and shoot monsters in this pseudo-3D game inspired by the classic Wolfenstein 3D and Doom.

How to play

Your objective is to navigate the map and activate exit elevator, killing hordes of monsters in the process.

Controls:

  • WASD - movement
  • J/L - turn left/right. Hold shift to turn quicker
  • spacebar - shoot
  • num 1-4 - change color mode
  • x - activate elevator (arrives after 1000 moves)

Adjusting resolution

By default game resolution is 64x48 "pixels", which are just a pair of ASCII symbols. That means your terminal needs to be at least 128 chars wide. You may change variables w and h to your liking.

Adapted and packaged for Haiku by Michel Clasquin-Johnson. Tested on Haiku R1/beta 5 in the x86_64 bit variant.
