  1. How to Install PacVim Game in Linux

Although Vim (short for VI Improved) is a popular text editor on Linux systems, people still find it hard to learn, it has a steep learning curve especially the advanced features; a lot of Linux newbies are literally afraid of learning this powerful and highly recommended text editor.

On the other hand, so much effort has been directed by the Tecmint and Linux community towards making Vim easy to learn; from creating Vim tutorials, sharing useful Vim usage tricks and tips, to developing interactive learning web-apps and command-line games such as PacVim.

PacVim is a free open source, text-based game that teaches you vim commands in a simple and fun manner. It is inspired by the popular and classic PacMan game, and runs on Linux and MacOSX. It helps you to comprehensively learn vim commands in an enjoyable way. Its objective is more or less like that of PacMan – you must move the pacman (the green cursor) over all the characters on the screen while avoiding the ghosts (red G).

How to Install PacVim Game in Linux

To install PacVim game, you need to first install required Curses (graphics library) package on your Linux distribution using default package manager as shown.

$ sudo apt install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev  [On Ubuntu/Debian]
# yum install ncurses-devel                          [On CentOS/RHEL]
# dnf install ncurses-devel                          [On Fedora =22]

Next, download PacVim source files by cloning its repository and install it as shown.

$ cd ~/Downloads
$ git clone https://github.com/jmoon018/PacVim.git
$ cd PacVim
$ sudo make install

After installing PacVim, you can start learning vim commands by running it from level 0 and the default mode is hard.

$ pacvim

PacVIM Game for Learning Vim Commands

Here are a few keys to move the cursor:

  • h – move left
  • i – move right
  • j – move down
  • k – move up
  • q – quit the game

You can launch it in a specific level and mode (n and h for normal/hard respectively), for example.

$ pacvim n
OR
$ pacvim 2
OR
$ pacvim 2 n

You can find more information including key-usage combinations and how to create your custom maps from the PacVim Github repository.
