Hi everyone,
I built TERM-REX, an open-source endless runner inspired by the Chrome Dino game, designed to run entirely inside a POSIX-compatible terminal.
It works on Linux, macOS, BSD, and even Linux virtual consoles (no GUI required). The project is written in C++ and focuses on terminal rendering and handling input limitations such as missing key release events. It supports both Unicode and ASCII modes and adapts to different terminal key repeat behavior across environments.
It’s already packaged for Fedora via COPR, but I’m currently trying to package it properly for Debian/Ubuntu (.deb) and haven’t been able to figure out the correct Debian packaging workflow.
If anyone has experience with Debian packaging and is willing to guide me or review an initial attempt, I’d really appreciate the help.
