This is a really nice idea! I played it a little bit and found one thing that can be confusing (at least for experienced Bash users): The use of <> as quotes. For instance:
You can use the < head -n 1 > spell to take a peek at what a file holds
How about using a not-easily-typeable character pair like the guillemots?
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.
This is great. At some point in time I realized how much I was using the terminal and spending a bit of time to learn the basics is a great investment of time. I used a similar rouge-like to learn (this one I think: https://gitlab.com/slackermedia/bashcrawl), and it really did help to nail in the basics. Would definitely recommend spending the time on one of these games for anyone who wants to learn.
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.
