If you're not familiar with the popular Dino Chrome game which surprisingly eases tension during a marathon coding session, then you might be living under a rock. However, I'm here to introduce you to Dino-Terminal. Don't worry too much, you guessed right: It's the same Dino game (with more features of course), but in the terminal.
Dino-Terminal is a simple dino game that is built on the mastery of manipulating your terminal. Here's what we don't want: The common dino longing for an affection outside Chrome.

To install, simply pip install dino-terminal
- Press the space bar key to jump over obstacles
- Press the down arrow key (↓) to duck beneath hovering obstacles
This project is a fun project to learn about manipulating strings on the terminal and is based on the curses library. Here are some possible updates to improve the game:
- Include easter eggs.
- Include randomly generated flying birds to duck below.
- Train an AI model to successfully play the game without losing.
