HellShell is a linux-lite text game that I never finished. Something interested can still be done with it, and all the tech is already in place. Someday perhaps...

At the moment there are only 7 levels. There's also a sandbox mode for exploring all the capabilities. Enjoy!


Keyboard shortcuts for shell:

  • Command history: up arrow/down arrow
  • Enter command: enter
  • Auto-complete file names: tab
  • Move cursor one word: ctrl + left arrow / ctrl + right arrow
  • First/last command in command history: page up / page down

  • Save drive: F1

  • Quit: q
  • Scroll one screen down: Z
  • Scroll one screen up: B

Keyboard shortcuts for text editor:

  • Save: ctrl + s

  • This is a regular AS3 input TextField so most editing tricks on your OS should work, the ones I listed are just the ones I found, there's most likely more.

Others:

  • F1 to F5: Switch between five shell instances

Saving:

  • Export your drive as a JSON file with "backup -s"
  • Load a JSON file into your drive with "backup -l"
  • Type "save" to save a local backup -> this is automatically done every time you complete a challenge or call "quit"
