This game is such an amazing idea! I enjoyed playing through and despite having some annoyances (that are expected and not the game's fault) about not having tab completion and other things I'm used to in BASH, I still loved it.

Not sure if it was just the browser size, but when I tried to "cd agent-reg.government" on the itch.io page, it chopped off the "t" and put it on a new line which meant I couldn't figure out how to actually take down the server. Allowing "*" or something would make that easier, but I understand that 7 days is super hard.

Thanks for the cool experience!

I'm so glad you liked it! And yeah, I instinctively pressed tab a ton of times when I was making/testing it. Would for sure be something I add to a full(er) version.

That chop off thing is a known bug, it's due to the way text is (dumbly) cached to avoid re-drawing. I actually thought I had gotten rid of it but apparently not. Fortunately you don't need to go into that directory to complete the tutorial!

Oh actually the bug was totally unrelated to the drawing thing. It was essentially miscounting the number of characters on the line so it would truncate way too soon. I made a quick fix for it so it shouldn't happen any more!

I ran into that bug, you can actually just enter a bunch of spaces or random characters to overflow the first line, and start your command on the next line and it will take only that line as the input ;)
