Role Name

ansible-role-free-linux-term-games

Ever feel like you just need to take 10 and play some games? I sure do! This role installs (or removes) a wide assortment of free linux terminal games. In this case, 'terminal games' means games that do not have a dependency on a GUI.

Requirements

This role depends on access to the apt (Debian / Ubuntu) or yum (Redhat / Centos) package installer on the host that Ansible is configuring.

Role Variables

absentorpresent: present (or absent) - This variable is mapped within vars/main.yml and is set to a default of present. To uninstall all games, simply add "-e absentorpresent=absent" to the end of your ansible-playbook command.

freegamesapt: [] - a list of games available within the aptitude repository

freegamesyum: [] - a delicious list of games available within the yum repository
