#### Avoid the robots and make them crash into each other

It is the distant future – the year 2000. Evil robots are trying to kill you.
Avoid the robots or face certain death.

Fortunately, the robots are extremely stupid and will always move directly
towards you. Trick them into colliding into each other, resulting in their
destruction, or into the junk piles that result. You can defend yourself by
moving the junk piles, or escape to safety with your handy teleportation
device.

Your supply of safe teleports is limited, and once you run out, teleportation
could land you right next to a robot, who will kill you. Survive for as long
as possible!

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install GNOME Robots

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
