Installation

# Go ≥1.24.4
go install github.com/krisfur/gopherdash@latest

The binary ends up in $GOBIN (usually ~/go/bin). Add that to your $PATH or run with a full path.

From source

git clone https://github.com/krisfur/gopherdash.git
cd gopherdash
go run .

---

Storing scores

Persistent high score is stored locally in .gopherdash_highscore in your executable's directory.

If installing with go install it will be in your $GOBIN location, if compiling locally it will be right in that folder.

To reset your high score just remove the file.
