📕 Description [en]

The classic robots game where you have to avoid a hoard of robots who are trying to kill you.
Each step you take brings them closer toward you. Fortunately they aren't very smart and you also have a helpful teleportation gadget.

Robots is a part of Gnome Games.



🌍️ Wikipedia:

robots is a computer game that was developed for the Unix-based operating system Berkeley Software Distribution by Ken Arnold. In this turn-based game, players are tasked with escaping from robots programmed to pursue and kill them. The BSD Unix version of robots first appeared in the 4.3BSD software release in June 1986.

In May 1985, a very similar game also called robots, written by Allan R. Black, was posted to the Usenet newsgroup net.sources.games.

Gameplay

robots is played on a two-dimensional rectangular grid. The objective of the game is to escape from a number of robots, which have been programmed with only a single objective: to kill the player.

The game is turn-based. In the original game the player character starts at a randomly selected location. In some derivative versions, such as the GNOME version, the player starts at the centre of the grid. The robots start at randomly selected locations on the grid. Every time the player character moves a square in any direction (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), each robot moves one square closer to him, in whichever direction is the shortest way.

If the player character collides with a robot, he dies and the game ends. However, the robots are also fatal to each other - when two robots collide, they both die, leaving behind a scrap heap. These scrap heaps are also fatal to robots and the player.

The player can also teleport into a randomly selected location in cases where escape is otherwise impossible. A teleportation counts as a move. However, because the location is randomly selected, it is possible that the player teleports right into the path of a robot. In some versions of the game, there is a "safe teleport" feature which the player may use a limited number of times (for instance once per level) and there may also be a close-range weapon which kills all robots within the immediate vicinity, the use of which would be limited in a similar way.

When all robots on a level are dead, the player moves onto another level, with more robots. Traditionally, the number of robots increases by ten each level.


🍥️ Debian:

Improved old BSD robots game

GNOME Robots is a game where you try and avoid a band of marauding robots which are, for no adequately explained reason, trying to kill you. It is based on the text-based robots game which can be found on a number of UNIX systems.

📕 Description [fr]

Un petit jeu de poursuite au tour par tour, par The GNOME Project.

GNOME Robots (ex Gnobots2) est un petit jeu de poursuite / de tactique au tour par tour (chaque protagoniste avance d'une case à chaque tour) inspiré de Robots sur BSD : une horde de robots vous poursuit tentant de vous attraper pour vous éliminer, à vous de ruser pour les éliminer ou les éviter.
Lorsqu'ils sont trop près, vous pouvez heureusement échapper à vos poursuivants grâce à un bouton de téléportation.
Votre but sera de les éliminer en les faisant s'écraser les uns contre les autres car heureusement pour vous : ils ne sont pas très intelligents.

Plusieurs thèmes graphiques sont disponibles.


🍥️ Debian:

Ancien jeu BSD améliorés de robots

GNOME Robots est un jeu où vous devez essayer d'éviter une bande de robots maléfiques qui, pour une raison indéterminée, tentent de vous tuer. Ce jeu est basé sur le jeu de robots en mode texte que l'on peut trouver sur bon nombre de systèmes UNIX.

🕵️ Test (2.28):
Une interface correcte, un graphisme correcte quoi qu'un peu petit, un son assez minimaliste, tout comme le gameplay.
Amusant 5 min.
