Classic slots in terminal

Going retro. It's making a comeback

The classic slots game was originally mechanical, I think. We have a lot of hybrid versions popular today. I haven't seen a classic machine anywhere, but it had to be good at one point. Lets put it into the terminal. Maybe it can have some integration with other tools via CLI

Pachinko Slots

A mashup nobody wanted

Pachinko and slots are two of the pingiest, dingiest games. They have two different mechanisms, so it would be real artistry to put them together in a way that feels okay

Game of Life Slots

Slots with choices and progression

Game of life is a classic board game, where one can choose to purse different paths on a game board to maximise points. Different decisions progress the character, and evolve their round based money consumption and production (could be spin cost, spin rewards).

Slots 1v1 game

Multipliayer slots

Simple game, simple idea, but without any addition, slots PvP is just a game of chance. It would be cool to combine it with a game shop to build up a unique slot machine, with different bonuses (attack, defence) and play the enemy over multiple rounds.

Slots FPS

First Person Slots

First Person Shooter, but you carry a slots machine instead of a gun, that spawns ammunition. The enemies could also spawn out of slots machines. It needs to have a little bit more 'win' conditions, because getting a classic 3 in a row slots win is quite rare, meaning the shooting would be very slow.

What Broke & Fixed

✗As usual, the UI sucked. Needs a lot of specific implementation requirements or it looks like slop.
