## Games

| Game | Preview | Description |

| **Dino Runner** | `play dino` | Jump over cacti, survive as long as you can |
| **Breakout** | `play breakout` | Smash bricks with a bouncing ball |
| **Space Shooter** | `play shooter` | Blast enemies, defeat bosses |
| **Pong** | `play pong` | Classic paddle game vs AI |
| **Flappy Bird** | `play flappy` | Flap through pipes, don't crash |
| **Minesweeper** | `play mines` | Uncover cells, avoid mines |
| **Pac-Man** | `play pacman` | Eat dots, avoid ghosts |

## Quick Start

```bash
play              # Open game menu
play snake        # Jump straight into Snake
play tetris       # Jump straight into Tetris
play list         # See all games + high scores
```

## Controls

```
 WASD / Arrow Keys   Move / Navigate
 Space               Jump (Dino) / Hard Drop (Tetris) / Launch (Breakout) / Fire (Shooter) / Serve (Pong)
 W                   Rotate (Tetris)
 P                   Pause
 ESC / Q             Quit (auto-saves progress)
 ?/H                 Show controls help
 F                   Flag (Minesweeper)
 T                   Cycle color theme (menu)
 R                   Retry after game over
```

## Features

- **Auto-save** — Quit mid-game with ESC, resume next time you play
- **High scores** — Tracked per game, shown in menu
- **Zero dependencies** — Pure Python, just curses (built-in)
- **Single file** — Entire codebase is one `play.py`
- **Difficulty selection** — Choose Easy/Medium/Hard for Shooter and Pong
- **In-game help** — Press `?` during any game to see controls
- **Color themes** — Cycle themes with T in the menu (default, retro, ocean)
- **Sound effects** — Terminal beep on new high scores
- **Adaptive difficulty** — Snake speeds up as you score, Tetris levels up
- **Ghost piece** — Tetris shows where your piece will land
- **Works everywhere** — Linux, macOS, WSL2

## Claude Code Integration

Works as a slash command inside [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/claude-code) — play games while Claude works in the background.

```
/play snake         # Launch a game
! play              # Open game menu directly
```

**Turn-based CLI mode** for in-conversation play (no terminal needed):

```bash
play cli start snake       # Start a CLI game
play cli start 2048        # Start 2048
play cli start minesweeper # Start Minesweeper
play cli start connect4    # Start Connect4
play w                     # Move up (WASD shortcuts)
play show                  # Show current board
play quit                  # End game
```

## Config
