Does this work with Neovim or vim only?

For those who like this I can tell you about another thriving gaming platform...

Emacs! You can out of the box play all your favorites such as

   M-x tetris
   M-x snake
   M-x solitaire

Just as well as multiplayer classics

   M-x pong

To find out more and get the latest games check out https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryGames#toc1

Great OS, the only thing that's really missing is a decent text editor.

And there was pinball in Microsoft Word 97.

Related, a self destroying game I built some time ago: https://void4.github.io/ The yellow dot is the instruction pointer, the red dots represent the program memory. If you hit the ball just right you can introduce graphic glitches. Most times, the instruction pointer gets out of bounds however.

This is really cool and I'd love to play with it, but my eyesight isn't good enough to hit the ball more than once at a time. Is there anyway you could post an upscaled version?

If it works in vim it should work in neovim?

It was forked before vim 8.0 was released and neovim doesn't try to keep its fork compatible with vim. Consequently it is not.

How about breakout using the Nuke compositor and a python script:

Nothing beats Microsoft platforms for gaming though. Excel 97 has a built-in flight sim. Can Emacs do THAT?
