La Cucina is a game written in C using ncurses as a graphics and input library. It fits into the theme of evolution in a way that I hope is different to other games in that it is the player that must evolve and not elements in the game. There is a very steep learning curve to playing this game. Not much help is given during play and the player is expected to work a lot of it out on their own, thus evolving. As keys used are similar to vim, it can also help the player to use vim better by creating muscle memory. JS/Linux and 32-bit binaries may not work perfectly. They have not been tested as much as the 64-bit version. If you want to compile the source yourself, you'll need to have the development files for ncurses and gcc. Important keys are: h,j,k,l to move, y to pick things up, p to drop things or place them, b to see notepad, q to quit, o for OK and i for ordering supplies.
