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.
Nice! I did the same thing until my school figured out how to block Google Play
Yeah the restrictions on Chromebooks are really annoying. Termux is the only way I can actually program on my chromebook and if they remove that I guess it’s time to buy a Thinkpad.
You can download and run an apk of Termux (this is v118), or even of F-Droid so you can install Termux and keep it up to date.
