Inävjaga is a Sista-based C++ terminal videogame.
You can download the latest release executable for your operative system from the releases page.

This approach is unlikely to work for MacOS users for the following reasons:
- the game is not signed, so it will be blocked by the system;
- the game is not statically linked and that's impossible to achieve by Apple's design choices despite various attempts to do so; Thus, if you are a MacOS user, you should compile the game (and the sista library) from source as explained below.
This approach allows you to customize the game (by editing constants.hpp) and access the source code.
The requisites for this approach are:
- familiarity with the shell that your operative system provides
gitversion control systemg++compiler, must support ISO C++17 or GNU C++17makeutility
You can potentially use just g++ and copy-paste the commands from the Makefile or from below.
The same goes for git, you can download the source code as a ZIP archive, but using git is recommended for pulling updates without downloading the whole archive again.
You can clone the repository and compile the game from source as follows:
git clone https://github.com/FLAK-ZOSO/Inavjaga
cd Inavjaga
makeOn Windows (MinGW/MSYS2), the Makefile can automatically vendor Sista from source into include/sista and compile it locally.
make USE_LOCAL_SISTA=1 STATIC=1The first local build will clone FLAK-ZOSO/Sista into .deps/Sista and copy include/sista from there.
If you don't have make installed, you can copy and paste the following commands in your terminal after having manually copied `FLAK-ZOSO/Sista:/include to the right location:
git clone https://github.com/FLAK-ZOSO/Sista
cp -r Sista/include/* include/How to do that in Bash

# On Linux and MacOS (or other Unix-like systems)
./inavjaga# On Windows (cmd.exe, while PowerShell goes with `.\inavjaga.exe`)
inavjaga.exeIf you compile the game from source, you will be able to customize and rebalance the game by editing the constants.hpp file and not only.
Your character is represented by the $ symbol and is surviving day by day hunting for food and protecting its home from the dangers of the tunnels.
If the enemies will reach home, no hopes will be left, so you need to defend it at all costs.
The tunnels are haunted by worms such as the one represented below.
>>>>
v
v>HVulnerable to headshots, worms leave behind clay that can be used to craft mines.
The archers are smart enemies who know well the tunnels and can move through the breaches in the walls.
AThey can shoot you from a distance, so you need to be careful when they are around. If you manage to kill them, you can harvest their arrows.
The game features various resources that you can collect:
- Clay: can be used to craft mines; it is left behind by worms;
- Bullets: can be fired; as such both archers' arrows and worms' scales can be used as bullets;
- Meat: is eaten to avoid starving; it is dropped by worms and archers;
The game features portals that can be used exclusively by the player to travel between different areas of the tunnels.
&The controls for motion are:
W,A,S,D: move the character; both uppercase and lowercase letters work;
The controls for executing actions are:
