Yusuke Endoh provided a patch to fix the ANSI escape codes. It became apparent to Cody Boone Ferguson (when he was looking at the source code of this entry) that it was no longer valid ANSI escape sequences. He has used them before (who hasn't ?) but that was a long time ago and with Yusuke's patch it works. Cody notes that this fix will not just work for linux but macOS too. Thank you Yusuke for your assistance!
Try:
echo "Do or do not. There is no try."
Make sure to hit 'q' to exit or else your terminal will be messed up (to restore
it you can try stty sane or reset).
Judges' remarks:
No matter how careful you are, this guy eventually crashes. Most people can make at least one successful road trip without crashing.
This is, of course, another of the retro games.
Author's remarks:
This is a game based on an Apple ][ Print Shop Companion easter egg named 'DRIVER', in which the goal is to drive as fast as you can down a long twisty highway without running off the road. Use ',./', '[ ]', or 'bnm' to go left, straight, and right respectively. Use '1234' to switch gears. 'q' quits. The faster you go and the thinner the road is, the more points you get. Most of the obfuscation is in the nonsensical if statements among other things. It works best on the Linux console: you get engine sound (!) and the * Lock keyboard lights tell you what gear you're in (none lit=4th). The 'q' argument (no leading '-') will silence the sound. It won't work on a terminal smaller than 80x24, but it works fine with more (try it in an XTerm with the "Unreadable" font and the window maximized vertically!).
