Hello fellow Ludum Darers! This year I am participating in the October Challenge with my game HighFlyer which I entered in Ludum Dare 31!
If you would like to get HighFlyer for the October Challenge you can get it here:
The history of Unix dates back to the mid-1960s when the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, AT&T Bell Labs, and General Electric were jointly developing an experimental time-sharing operating system called Multics for the GE-645 mainframe.
Details are below
Welcome to HighFlyer by GameGrape Studios! In this game you fly through space while shooting down enemies, collecting stars, setting high scores and more!
Planned features: 30+ exciting levels, lots of different blocks and items to use and find, epic boss battles and much more!
I don’t particularly like the tradition of light text on dark backgrounds in everything that (shell) coders or Unix admins seem to use. But even the Jetbrains folks provide a Darcula theme now.
Anyway, I want more light in my mintty – which is the default Cygwin terminal – and an easy to find cursor:
If you come across other colors that are too light to be readable on white background, just add more ColorName=0,0,0 lines in this file. Make sure you consult the related mintty reference documentation.
For existing work on more beautiful(?) but IMHO less ergonomic palettes of colors, you might want to check out these “Solarized” color configs for mintty.
