MayaLinux_rev is a platform based on bash to create textual adventure in bash. It come out with three adventure based on the same challenges:
- Maya
- Matrix
- Monkey Island
It means that the games are the same in type of riddles or things to do, but differs in solutions and in themes.
It borns as a MS-DOS game for an informatics competence scout camp. Its initial name was Maya (from its theme), then with years we changed the OS of our machines to Linux (for a more coherence with our ethic). Porting the game its name became MayaLinux (in Italian language sounds like pigs + linux, something like Piggux). Then we changed the theme of the camp, and consequently of the game, in Matrix and then in Monkey Island, but it kept the name MayaLinux.
Rename as you please the game directory and move it in the desired
games folder.
Run mayalinux it will ask for the language and the theme of the
game. (At the moment there is only a demo for the of the Italian
and English version of the theme Monkey Island)
MayaLinux_rev, when starts, search for available games, called theme. Each theme has a list of levels that are based on challenges, every levels contain the file needed form the associated challenge to run, including the narrative text for the level.
