## Requirements

* `bash` (Tested with Git Bash for Windows' MinTTY terminal)

* `q/kdb+` (Tested in version 4.0)

* The Linux command `tput` (If wanting to have the game's interface centered in the window)

**Note:** Some terminals may be too slow at refreshing their visuals to show the game at 60 FPS properly, it is recommended to run through a faster terminal than the default, like running through a [MinTTY](https://mintty.github.io/) terminal
