Purple gradients and emojis somehow scream vibe coded trash

its like using the company gpt then

haha yeah... this is just for fun though!

Compile, See Compiler Errors, Run.

When I felt a similar desire many years ago, I decided to write my own - though 'nano' was my model, rather than TurboC. I'd build it all differently if I had to do it over, but it works well enough that I continue to use it, all day every workday:

If you can't find what you are looking for, perhaps you should write it yourself!

Can you tell why Emacs/Vim failed to fill this criteria?

Did I say it failed? I said I'm looking for something like Turbo C. In fact I have a very nice custom compile and run vimscript. Again, I'm just looking for sth like Turbo C, FP, etc ... mostly in terms of UI and vibe if you have to ...

I agree, I myself have doubts about using the chevrons as quotes. bashcrawl used * to show the commands you're supposed to type. You can imagine my confusion when I encountered that notion. Using «» is a good idea though, thank you.

Thanks and of course, I want it to be accessible to everyone.

Thank you! Yes I did draw somw inspiration from bashcrawl as well. I didn't know about these types of games when I started using the shell. I'm hoping this can help a few new comers.

If it's something longer term as a project, some other stuff:

D&D: The Hypertext SRD has 3.5, 5, and Pathfinder material for ideas. https://www.d20srd.org/ Most Nix variants have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(computing) in them ... it's dangerous in the darkness. Plus, there's lots of word jokes like "Bash the door down" style of play

Myst/7th Guest/Visual Novel: People in-thread are talking pictures. While command line seems to be the goal, still-frame imagery puzzles using bash commands would be cool.

The Emoji Movie/Cell Phone: Adventures in the land of appscrapers and their cobble-touch avenues as your Nethack/Rogue icon delves the "open source" nix of the phone hardware.

ty, I didn't know about this, I should play it

it doesnt look like anything, its plain shell. You use cat, find, cd, export etc ... to play the game. The picture is for vibe

Include a screen recording that shows basic "gameplay", then.

In the repo https://github.com/wolandark/bash-dungeon?tab=readme-ov-file...

cd bash-dungeon

ls

cd Enter

ls

cat parchment

Thanks for the tip and the link. I added a section to the README about commit messages conventional with a link to the website you provided.

This is a great advice! Thank you! I politely asked the contributor to rebase and translate the Chinese bits.
