 Good concept, but implementation lacking, March 15, 2018by Draconis The idea behind this game is an interesting one: break into a secure system using a simulation of an actual Unix shell, with a time limit. But the actual implementation fell short. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

The original version of the game allowed scrolling, but several testers wanted a more 80s terminal feel, which didn't allow for scrolling. I'd love to know exactly where things stopped working for you -- speaking of testers, this game was tested by nearly 100 people during my thesis research and no one reported any refresh-worthy errors. I'll fix 'em if I can find 'em. ;) As for the "rm" issue. Note where you were attempting to use the command and it might make more sense to you. Funny... The "full" directory issue was never reported. I'll try to fix that. Draconis, March 16, 2018 - Reply Fair enough! It did have a very 80s feel, which was nice. I'm not sure what I did that made the text entry stop working, and if it doesn't affect anyone else then I'll just chalk it up to bad luck on my part. The cursor became narrow, like a standard browser text entry cursor, and stopped flashing. As far as the rm thing, (Spoiler - click to show)I'm used to rm deleting files outright, not moving them to the trash. Even in the game when I rm the data files they just disappear. Perhaps changing the error message to indicate why it fails? And as for the full directory issue, (Spoiler - click to show)to give a bit more detail: I deleted all the data files, then went back to the root, and ls still said there were 26 files in that directory. |
