MayaLinux_rev

A game made to let newcomers learn some basic terminal command.


Welcome to the MayaLinux_rev wiki!

What is it?

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.

History:

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.

Installation:

Rename as you please the game directory and move it in the desired games folder.

How to play:

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)

How does it works:

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.
