Sendama is a 2D game engine for creating terminal based games. It is designed to be simple and easy to use, while providing the necessary tools to create fun and engaging games. The engine is built using PHP and is designed to be cross-platform, so you can create games that run on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Rather than using complex graphics libraries, Sendama uses simple ASCII characters to create game worlds, making it easy to create games that are both fun and visually appealing. By leveraging the power of ANSI escape codes, Sendama allows you to create games that are interactive and engaging, with support for keyboard input, animations, and more.
To run the game, simply run the following command:
