# CuqueClicker
A parody idle-clicker in your terminal. Like Cookie Clicker — but instead of a cookie you click, it's an ASCII **ass** you *finger*.

## The name
CuqueClicker is a bilingual pun.
In Brazilian Portuguese, "**Cookie Clicker**" sounds almost identical to "**Cu que clicker**" — roughly *"the ass that clicks (or gets clicked)"*. Swap the **cookie** for a **cu** (ass), and the whole game follows: you don't *click* a *cookie*, you *finger* a *cuque*. Every mechanic, upgrade, and achievement is built around that phonetic accident.
## Install
**Linux / macOS (curl + sh):**
```sh
**Windows (PowerShell):**
```powershell
**Via Cargo (any platform with Rust):**
```sh
cargo install cuqueclicker
```
**To update** from within an installed build: `cuqueclicker self update`. This re-runs whichever install path you used the first time (installer script or `cargo install --force`).
## Controls
| `Space` / `Enter` / left-click on the cuque | Finger |
| `1`–`9`, `0` | Buy that fingerer |
| `Shift` + digit | Buy 10 |
| `Alt` + digit | Buy max affordable |
| `u` | Upgrades panel |
| `p` | Prestige panel |
| `s` | Stats panel |
| `a` | Achievements panel |
| `g` | Grab active Golden Cuque / powerup (keyboard equivalent of clicking it) |
| `-` / `+` | Zoom out / in (mouse scroll also works) |
| `q` / `Esc` | Quit (autosaves) |
## Features
- **Ten fingerer tiers** — starts with your own Index Finger and climbs past Latex Gloves, Robotic Fingers, Tentacles, and a Dimensional Hole, ending at the Hand of God
- **Upgrades** that double the output of what you already own — sharper nails, chrome phalanges, wetter tongues, holy lubrication
- **Prestige** — once you've fingered enough, wipe the run for a meta-currency that permanently boosts every future run
- **Golden Cuques** — rare pop-up bonuses in three flavors: instant cash, a short clicking frenzy, or a long boost on one of your fingerers
- **Achievements**, **English + Brazilian Portuguese** (auto-detected from `$LANG`), smooth zoom, and a ring of hands around the cuque that grows as you accumulate them
- **Autosaved progress** under `~/.config/cuqueclicker/`, with a single-instance file lock so two copies of the game can't stomp each other
