Bashcrawl
Explore a dungeon made of directories using real shell commands
Bashcrawl is a text adventure that lives in folders. The dungeon is a set of directories, and each room holds files to read. You begin by moving into the entrance directory and reading a scroll with cat. From there you explore room by room with real shell commands.

About Bashcrawl
It teaches the basics of a POSIX terminal, such as moving between directories and reading files. It suits complete beginners to the Linux, BSD or macOS terminal.
You download the release zip from GitLab and play in your own terminal, or you open a temporary online copy through Binder that resets when you leave. To start over, you delete the folder and unzip a fresh copy. The project is free and open source under the GPLv3.
