I was reminded about how much time I had spent as a kid playing Manic Miner on an Amstrad 464 and decided to give it a try on my current desktop (Linux Mint) so for future reference…
I grabbed the code created by here:
git clone https://github.com/lkundrak/manicminer.git
Installed a few dependencies:
apt-get install libx11-dev libxext-dev
Run the make file:
make
Run the program:
./manic
So to get it working system-wide:
sudo cp ./manic /usr/local/bin/manic
A desktop startup file would be handy:
[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Manic Miner GenericName=Retro Platform Game Icon=manicminer.png Exec=manic Terminal=false Categories=Game Keywords=platform,retro
