XorCurses is a game based on Xor by Astral Software. XorCurses is written by jwm-art.net, aka, James W. Morris. The original Xor game was released in 1987 for the 8 bit home computers popular at the time. XorCurses attempts to faithfully recreate that game for Linux, with particular attention placed on the behaviour of the objects within the original game.
