This shell script is designed to be POSIX compatible, following the standards set by the POSIX specification. This means that it should run on any POSIX-compliant shell, which includes most Unix-like systems.
However, while the script adheres to POSIX standards, there are a few commands used that are not guaranteed to be available on all operating systems and you may need to install:
-
bc: The script uses
bc(basic calculator) for performing precise floating-point arithmetic calculations. Whilebcis POSIX-defined and commonly available, it might not be installed on some minimal or specialized environments. -
tput: The script uses
tputto control terminal colors and cursor movement, enhancing the visual aspect of the game. Likebc,tputis POSIX-defined but might be missing on certain systems, especially headless or minimal installations.
- Clone the repository.
- Open your terminal and navigate to the directory where the script is located.
- Make sure you have execute permissions for the script:
chmod +x main.sh. - Run the game:
./main.sh.
