(Re)question - for Termux in Android? #4

I saw your seemingly wonderful clone on https://opensource.com/article/18/12/linux-toy-tetris and wanted to try it on my most available device (Android on ARM)

It has the Termux Terminal Emulator, but following the curl way led to a file called tetris containing only a 'Not found' string. (Got confused when 'cat-ing' it :)

Maybe I am just lazy, but I don't know how to install this here. Solutions, maybe:

Yeah, I would have been very surprised if the linux binary worked for you out of the box. As I mentioned in the README, it is dynamically compiled... if you happen to be on arch linux, it may work for you. Otherwise, probably not, as the dynamically linked libraries will be hard to find. It may be better for me to just remove the binaries so that other people don't get confused and expect them to work.

If the OS that you are on supports docker, it would be an interesting exercise to see if dex + tetris runs on there. Otherwise, I would suggest trying to get stack onto your device and compiling it.
