Hi hi,<p>I made a little Halloween themed game this week to show off my new terminal. You can play it in the browser. at <a href="https://joel.tools/halloween/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://joel.tools/halloween/</a><p>Two years ago, I started building an experiment tracking tool for myself as I have been venturing into ai research, and it has morphed into a terminal with rich content support and a bunch of fancy features. <a href="https://github.com/JoelEinbinder/snail/">https://github.com/JoelEinbinder/snail/</a><p>I can't recommend people start using snail for important stuff today, but I think the game is fun and it shows off a lot of the capabilities of the terminal.<p>Joel Einbinder
Nice way to get me to look up your docs on how to search files! My first attempt managed to hardlock the game:<p>for(let i=0; i<=8; i++)
for(let j=0; j<=8; j++)
for(let k=0; k<=8; k++)
for(let l=0; l<=8; l++)
ls ${i}/${j}/${k}/${l}
This is extremely cute. Great work! I had a lot of fun playing around for a few minutes. Only input I would give is that ability text can be way oversized for its textbox.
My first commands:
>> ls -a
>> cat help.txt
>> pushd neighbors_house
I got back: "pushd not found."
>> cd ..<p>I'm a total scaredy cat.
Really cool idea! I didn't get very far though, as the precarious pathway slowed to a complete crawl with heavy input lag, so I couldn't make any of the jumps (Firefox on an M1 MBP)
Despite the warning that it might not work on mobile, it works quite well on my iPad… that said, a few of the monster fights happened at just over postage-stamp resolution.<p>Super fun little game.
This was a lot of fun. Thanks for making and sharing.<p>The "find" command would be very helpful for the last step (to get the passcode).<p>I found that you can do "ls 0/0/0/0 0/0/0/1 ..."<p>So I wrote a python program to print out the ls command that shows all directory contents :)
Great game! I am a fan of text-based adventures. This is a nice mix of text-based commands, and a GUI.<p>Wondering out loud: is it possible to generate an atmospheric horror tale like "Anchorhead" via prompts? Perhaps it's already possible.
I'm not sure how you are supposed to search with cmd+p, cmd+p just opens the print dialogue? I just got the password from the dev tools. Cool game.
Fun. took a few tries to beat the boss<p>lags after the second fight at fullres on firefox, maybe its my plugins?<p>Had to use CTRL + P on mac for search to pop up vs CMD + P
