wargames

[optech]

in the /usr/games directory there is a console game called wargames... when run it says a quote from the movie 'wargames'... it asks if you want to play a game, and i respond "yes"... it exits back to the shell... when i look at the code, i can't tell what it accepts and what it does after you enter somehting that it likes... what is this game, how does it work, and why is it there if it doesn't do anything?

this is weird

i think the answer is chess?

only if you have chess installed though...

all wargames does is checks to see if you have the inputted app in your games directory, and if you do, it executes it. otherwise it just prints that quote.

so, it's entirely useless?
