Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Is there picture based game under linux terminal? Post 302550329 by Corona688 on Thursday 25th of August 2011 10:37:45 AM

There was never a Super Mario for DOS, either. Whatever you're remembering, that had to be emulated.

And if you're asking for graphics to happen inside a terminal, that'd need magic. Terminal is terminal, graphical is graphical. Graphical things would have to open a window if you ran them in a terminal.

I suspect there's a language barrier though, and we're just not grasping what you're asking for.

NAME
Terminal - A Terminal emulator for X SYNOPSIS
Terminal [OPTION...] DESCRIPTION
Terminal is what is known as an X terminal emulator, often referred to as terminal or shell. It provides an equivalent to the old-fashioned text screen on your desktop, but one which can easily share the screen with other graphical applications. Windows users may already be familiar with the MS-DOS Prompt utility, which has the analogous function of offering a DOS command-line under Windows, though one should note that the UNIX CLI offer far more power and ease of use than does DOS. Terminal emulates the xterm application developed by the X Consortium. In turn, the xterm application emulates the DEC VT102 terminal and also supports the DEC VT220 escape sequences. An escape sequence is a series of characters that start with the Esc character. Terminal accepts all of the escape sequences that the VT102 and VT220 terminals use for functions such as to position the cursor and to clear the screen. OPTIONS
Option Summary Here is a summary of all the options, grouped by type. Explanations are in the following sections. General Options -h, --help; -V, --version; --disable-server; --default-display=display; --default-working-directory=directory Window or Tab Separators --tab; --window Tab Options -x, --execute; -e, --command=command; --working-directory=directory; -T, --title=title; -H, --hold Window Options --display=display; --geometry=geometry; --role=role; --startup-id=string; -I, --icon=icon; --fullscreen; --maximize; --show-menubar, --hide-menubar; --show-borders, --hide-borders; --show-toolbars, --hide-toolbars General Options -h, --help List the various command line options supported by Terminal and exit -V, --version Display version information and exit --disable-server Do not register with the D-BUS session message bus --default-display=display Default X display to use. --default-working-directory=directory Set directory as the default working directory for the terminal Window or Tab Separators --tab Open a new tab in the last-specified window; more than one of these options can be provided. --window Open a new window containing one tab; more than one of these options can be provided.

Terminal --geometry 80x40 --command mutt --tab --command mc Opens a new terminal window with a geometry of 80 columns and 40 rows and two tabs in it, where the first tab runs mutt and the second tab runs mc. ENVIRONMENT
Terminal uses the Basedir Specification as defined on Freedesktop.org[1] to locate its data and configuration files. This means that file locations will be specified as a path relative to the directories described in the specification. ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME} The first base directory to look for configuration files. By default this is set to ~/.config/. ${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS} A colon separated list of base directories that contain configuration data. By default the application will look in ${sysconfdir}/xdg/. The value of ${sysconfdir} depends on how the program was build and will often be /etc/ for binary packages. ${XDG_DATA_HOME} The root for all user-specific data files. By default this is set to ~/.local/share/. ${XDG_DATA_DIRS} A set of preference ordered base directories relative to which data files should be searched in addition to the ${XDG_DATA_HOME} base directory. The directories should be separated with a colon. FILES
${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}/Terminal/terminalrc This is the location of the configuration file that includes the preferences which control the look and feel of Terminal. ${XDG_DATA_DIRS}/Terminal/Terminal-toolbars.ui This file includes the user interface definition for the toolbars. If you customize the toolbars using the graphical toolbars editor, Terminal will store the new toolbars layout in the file ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/Terminal/Terminal-toolbars.ui. SEE ALSO
