A game which apparently teaches you to use command prompt but there is a wired story hidden in it, can you find it?

Cool little game with a nice take on the theme! If you had a bit more time, it would have been nice if the python was crossplatform, and recognized your OS and wouldn't try to cls on Linux.

Thank you for your comments... I'm working on Linux version... As I don't have mac can't make a mac version

It's a nice way to learn it. I just wonder what if you forget the command and you can't go back to the teaching part. (I can cheat with the narrow keys and see what I typed). The commands also don't look to work properly, but your software can detected what I typed. I thought upper and lower cases don't make a difference for the cmd.

Cute little game. Apparently "cd .." is invalid, which I would say is a little strange, given that the actual command required by the game, "cd..", is usually not interpreted by non-Windows command-lines.

Actually I'm a windows user and I'm working on making this game applicable for linux...

Wow, this was really creative! I wonder what other kinds of stories could be told through this medium.

Very cool stuff. I'm using windows and getting this message one some commands however, ex: "'ls' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

Unconventional indeed, and quite an idea to use a game format to teach command line interactions. Unfortunately it didn't quite seem to work - neither ls nor touch worked for me (the game was happy, but I also got system error messages that it didn't know what to do with them). At the point where I should delete the folder I stopped, as I wasn't sure if these misunderstandings between game and system could ultimately do harm to my system in any way (i.e. accidentally removing the wrong directory or whatever). I'm on Windows 7. Isn't ls and touch linux based, and Windows uses dir to output directory content, and some copy variant for creating files?

Got it...
Actually due to my git bash installation I get some linux command suppourt on my pc... That is why I considered touch as a winddows command when apperantly it was not... It is completely my fault.. Sorry for the error...

That is why I considered touch as a cmd supported command... That is why there was some command line error and as the game depended on the touch command for some steps... That is why it caused you several command line errors...
Sorry for the fault from my side...

But anyways thank you for your review...

@Tim Ruswick Hope you enjoyed the game, though it had some errors which are a bit hard for me to fix right now...
