Really cool! First time I have played a terminal game with a game controller
It was a bit of an epiphany for me as well when we figured it out. SDL's keyboard input requires a window managed by SDL (to combat keylogging, naturally) but controllers can be read from anywhere, including even the TTY.
I love the visual and and the sound,
I find the way you handle movement very odd, but after looking at the code I've saw the getch, which don't tell if you do a keuup or keydown, I got the same problem with my game. and that's why I didn't package a ncurses version.
Also, I'm on Arch which have libncurses.so.6 and this game need .5 so I had to install it(thanks to AUR), maybe you should add the lib to the game
Can you try again? (version 3)
Version 2 worked fine on Arch when we tested it, but apparently only when launched from the itch app.
EDIT: I didn't make any changes to the game beyond adding a couple more deps into the libs folder.
EDIT2: Keyboard controls are really weird, that's why we added SDL2 gamepad support with more natural controls at the last minute. SDL won't return keyboard events for a non-SDL window though, so grab your gamepad if you've got one.
Ok, I've just try again, and it work
