SurgeScript in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own surgescript package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs. It has no program of its own: it is a Debian metapackage that brings in other packages, whose programs run in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop.

Breadstick draws graphics with the processor rather than the GPU, so 2D, puzzle, card and board games suit it best, and fast 3D games run slowly. More about games in Breadstick.

About SurgeScript

From the project's description

SurgeScript is a scripting language for games. Use it to unleash your creativity and build your own amazing interactive content! It's such a joy to use SurgeScript! Its features include:

  • The state-machine pattern: objects are state machines, making it easy to create in-game entities
  • The composition approach: you may design complex objects and behaviors by means of composition
  • The hierarchy system: objects have a parent and may have children, in a tree-like structure
  • The game loop: it's defined implicitly
  • Automatic garbage collection, object tagging and more!

SurgeScript is meant to be used in games and in interactive applications. It's easy to integrate it into existing code, it's easy to extend, it features a C-like syntax, and it's free and open-source software.
