Escape from evil robots who want to exterminate you. https://github.com/geckoblu-games/daleks/raw/main/screenshot.png⁠

Daleks pits you against evil robots, who are trying to kill you (which is why they are evil). Fortunately for you, even though they are evil, they are not very bright and have a habit of bumping into each other, thus destroying themselves. In order to survive, you must get them to kill each other off. Since you are stuck without offensive weaponry, you are endowed with one piece of defensive weaponry: a teleportation device. If a robot runs into you, you die. When two robots run into each other or a junk pile, they die. When all the robots die, you start on the next field. This keeps up until they finally get you or you complete the game.

The game is inspired by gnome-robots which in turn was inspired by BSD robots (aka Chase), and so we are back to terminal.

How to play

Directions:

7   8   9        y     k     u
  \ | /           \    |   /
4 - 5 - 6        h - SPACE - l
  / | \           /    |   \
1   2   3        b     j     n

Commands:

w          : Wait for end

             You can stay put and wait for the robots to finish making all their moves.
             This is not advisable unless there are very few robots and you are absolutely
             sure that they will all perish before reaching you.
             Every robot died when you wait increment your safe teleports number (depending on
             profile)

+ or ENTER : safe teleport

             Safe teleports move the main character to a location that is safe from enemy robots.
             In each game only a few safe teleports are allowed.

- or t     : random teleport
             Use random teleports to teleport to a random location that may be safe or may not be safe.
             You can use as many random teleports as you want during a game.
