Relive the great adventure… this time in the terminal realm!
- Progress Quest site: http://progressquest.com/
- Online version: http://progressquest.com/play/
- Original version: https://bitbucket.org/grumdrig/pq
- Faithful port of the game logic.
- Ideal to run on your server.
- Saves with backups to
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pqcli/save.dat, which defaults toC:/Users/<username>/.config/pqcli/on Windows and/home/<username>/.config/pqcli/on Unix.
If you have Python 3.9 or later, just run pip install --user pqcli and you're good to go!
Then type pqcli to run the game.
In case if you want to use the git version, the process is just a bit more complex:
$ git clone https://github.com/surgical-duck/pq-cli.git
$ cd pq-cli
$ pip install --user .python -m pqcli ...
--curses Rich and colorful, default.
--basic Minimal UI, suitable for raw grind.
--load-save <int> to instantly start playing on the specified character in the roster.
--list-saves List saved characters and exit.
--no-colors Disable color highlighting in curses interface.
--no-save No progress will be saved.
