I never imagined I’d like playing Tetris on the command line, on a terminal on my phone (termux
), but here I am!
I couldn’t find any Tetris app on fdroid
, and just checked if pkgs
had one. Lo and behold! It asked me to run pkgs install vitetris
, and when I did, the tetris
command was there to launch the game.
It’s a two step process, as opposed to just launching an app, but it is very lightweight, no tracking, and FOSS.
For anyone with termux already installed and feeling a bit nostalgic, might be worth trying it out.
out of curiosity, what do you use it for? I’ve never been able to find a useful function of it beyond a niche party trick
I use it for backing up all my photos and videos (the DCIM
folder) to my B2 repo using rclone
.
It’s genuinely amazing how useful it is.
I use it for YouTube-dl, and it’s probably useful for programming too. There is a command to let it access shared storage, use that before anything else. Download it from f-droid. Play store build is broken.
