What is myman

Basic premise of the MyMan video game “Those scary ghosts are back, and this time they’ve spotted you! What’s worse is that they’ve mistaken you for their old rival Pac, and they’re out for (yellow) blood!” MyMan displays (A) on a text terminal or terminal emulator (using ncurses, slang, PDCurses, SysV curses, or the raw stdio terminal driver), (B) on an X Window System display (using PDCurses for X, a.k.a. XCurses), (C) on any terminal or display supported by PDCurses for SDL, libcaca, LibGGI/LibGII, Allegro, TWin, aalib, Carbon/Toolbox, or (D) in a Win32 command prompt window (using the raw Win32 terminal driver). Since MyMan is fairly fast-moving, you’ll need a reasonably fast computer and display. It once ran acceptably fast on a 486-66 under Linux, and may still.
