From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why can't I figure this out! I can change directories as if they ere rooms, but the files don't do anything. I get a warning that there is no such command
I found I had to chmod u+x the binaries, but they worked fine. You need to make sure you call them as ./filename (assuming you are in the same directory as the file)
IE:
chmod u+x treasure
./treasure
For a complete rookie, that wanted to learn, this is quite counterintuitive. There are very very fine details on how to install it and get started, and then this is not even described.
Yeah, I thought that was a bit weird, too. Going as basic as explaining how to use ls and cat and how to run an executable, but not mentioning how to make an executable actually be executable.
I thought maybe it was just something wacky with my Termux install that made me have to chmod it all.
I also found it weird how the game didn't manage HP and inventory for you. There must have been better ways for it to show you how to use session variables...
This was great... great find and genius idea.
Neat concept. I got killed by the statue. :-/
Awesome, I’m gunna try this for sure, because doing anything on my Linux machines is… a whole big thing.. Thanks for sharing this!
I was just thinking about this on my way into work this morning, and how I need to get some of my junior techs to try this out.
