Also installable with debian: sudo apt install libnaga-java. ## Install ```sh sudo av install brew:naga ``` Additional install commands: ### macOS - Homebrew (100%): ```sh brew install naga ``` Evidence: local Homebrew formula metadata ### Linux - Debian apt (92%): ```sh sudo apt install libnaga-java ``` Evidence: Debian stable package indexes: libnaga-java from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz ## Package facts - **Package key:** brew:naga - **Package manager:** Homebrew - **Package manager page:** - **Version:** 1.0 - **Source summary:** Terminal implementation of the Snake game - **Homepage:** - **Repository:** - **Upstream docs:** - **License:** BSD-3-Clause - **Source archive:** - **Generated:** 2026-07-25T07:20:51+00:00 ## Executables - naga (cli) - naga (alias) ## Uses from macOS - ncurses ## Install behavior - Post-install hook: not defined - Bottle: available on arm64_big_sur, arm64_linux, arm64_monterey, arm64_sequoia, arm64_sonoma, arm64_tahoe, arm64_ventura, big_sur, catalina, monterey, sonoma, ventura ## Freshness - Page generated: 2026-07-25 - Package-manager version: 1.0 - Local data: ok - Upstream repository: https://github.com/anayjoshi/naga - Upstream latest detected: naga-v1.0 (current) - info: No package-manager update timestamp was available. ## Project history and usage This `brew:naga` is the small terminal Snake game by Anay Joshi, not the Rust shader translator. Its GitHub repository was created on June 8, 2014, and the only GitHub release is `naga-v1.0`, also published on June 8, 2014 with the release name `Naga is born!`. ### Project history The available source history is thin: a C terminal game repository, BSD-3-Clause license, a 1.0 release, and repository activity that appears to have stopped after a push on November 4, 2015. The Homebrew formula installs version 1.0 and conflicts with `naga-cli` because both install a binary named `naga`. ### Adoption history There is no strong evidence of broad adoption. On July 1, 2026 the GitHub API showed 5 stars and 1 fork. Homebrew reported 43 installs over 365 days. This looks like a niche or historical CLI game package kept available because it builds and has a simple standalone binary. ### How it is used The practical use is simply launching `naga` in a terminal to play Snake. Package maintainers mostly need to care about the binary-name conflict with `naga-cli`, since the shader translation CLI is a much more active package with the same executable name. ### Why package nerds care Its significance is mostly as a naming collision and package-catalog disambiguation case. Without context, `naga` may mean the terminal game, the Rust shader translation library, or the `naga` binary installed by `naga-cli`. ### Timeline - 2014-06-08: GitHub repository created. - 2014-06-08: `naga-v1.0` release published. - 2015-11-04: last pushed timestamp reported by the GitHub API. - 2026-07-01: GitHub API showed 5 stars and Homebrew API showed 43 installs over 365 days. ### Related projects - naga-cli ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for naga.
