I've been playing with trying to get the most out of regular terminal (ansi) graphics rendering for an mmorpg game for a bit of fun. Thought that I might take a quick detour and make a streetfighter style game that turned out better than I thought it would.

Type "ssh sshfighter.com" in your terminal to play

Visit the website https://sshfighter.com to watch replays etc (tv feature is cool)

My friends and I have been working on bot models for a bit of fun, you can queue against them if you want to and they have their own leaderboard. look at /bots if you want to make your own.

It's all open source https://github.com/thomasdavis/sshfighter.com

I intentionally didn't take advantage of things like kitty graphics, but I have started work on an adapter to take full advantage of it. (the bandwidth is a bit hard to reckon with)

Feedback would be awesome! p.s. sorry I did not test on any windows terminals

This is great, love the TV replay mode, happened to jump in and watch my recent game.

Looks intriguing. I toyed with an ssh based game idea, maybe its time to revisit.

It's pretty fun, and you don't have to worry about auth and a bunch of other things.

Here is a doc on how to achieve the same kind of graphics -> https://github.com/thomasdavis/sshfighter.com/blob/main/docs...
