Build

See the README file in the above repository; the repository can be

cloned with git(1). The game should build on OpenBSD 7.4. Other unix

systems may need to install a compiler (C99) and curses development

libraries, or to change various includes or defines.

    $ git clone https://thrig.me/src/sbal.git
    $ cd sbal
    $ make
    $ ./sbal

The game is known to compile on Alpine Linux if one installs the build-base, ncurses-dev, and maybe some other packages. Portability has not otherwise been much been tested, though there is not anything exotic that should trouble a modern unix system?
