Terminal is a nomic taking place entirely within a filesystem.
The following represents the initial state:
~/ # owner: e boot/ # owner: su instances files users players commands winning commands/ # owner: su mk cp mv rm rn et run kill sudo players/ # owner: su
~/boot/instances[edit | edit source]
The system must reboot to enact any changes to contents of ~/boot/. Each week 3 new instances are created, with the contents of the files in ~/boot/ directory at the end of the previous instance comprising the rules for the instance:
Instance I: Sunday, Monday
Instance II: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Instance III: Friday, Saturday
The rules must be continuously obeyed by all players.
~/boot/files[edit | edit source]
A file is a document containing data such as text, formatting, tables or images. Anything that can be added to an Infinite Nomic Wiki page is valid content for a file. Every file has an owner, which is 'su' unless otherwise specified.
~/boot/users[edit | edit source]
A user can own files and execute commands. Every player is a user. Additionally, 'su' references the superuser, with absolute control of the system. 'e' references every user.
~/boot/players[edit | edit source]
A player must be a member of the IN discord server.
Any person may become a player by posting a message setting forth their intent to do so in the channel #game-actions, provided they have not been a player at any point in the past seven days. A player may cease being a player by sending a message that sets forth their intent to do so in #game-actions.
When a player joins, the following file is created at ~/players/ named {player name}:
id = {Discord ID} is_player = true is_su = false privileges = 2
If that file already exists (the player has the same id), is_player = true. If a player's name contains "/" characters, they are replaced by "|". If multiple players would have files of the same name, subsequent player files have an integer appended to their name to represent their place when joining.
When a player ceases being a player, is_player = false. If a player or ex-player leaves the server, they are no longer a player and their file is removed.
~/boot/commands[edit | edit source]
A command is a formatted set of instructions that can be sent to alter the system. Every command must have a file in ~/commands/ with the name of the command as its name. The file must describe the syntax for the command and provide a description for what it should do.
Command | Alternative | Syntax | Description |
---|---|---|---|
mk | make | mk {location} {name (no "/")} {contents as attached .txt file or code block} {owner or if blank: you} | Creates a file at the specified location. |
mkdir | make_directory | mkdir {location} {name (no "/")} {owner or if blank: you} | Creates a directory at the specified location. |
cp | copy | cp {location} {location} | Copies a file or directory from one location and places the copy in another location. |
mv | move | mv {location} {location} | Moves a file or directory to a new location. |
rm | remove | rm {location} | Deletes a file or directory. |
rn | rename | rn {location} {new name (no "/")} | Changes the name of a file or directory. |
et | edit | et {file location} {write/append or w/a} {new contents attached as .txt file or code block} | Changes the contents of a file. |
run | run {file name} | Executes the code in a file. Actions performed by this code are considered to have been done by you. | |
kill | kill {reply or links to messages or message ids or if blank: all active} | Terminates active processes ran by you. | |
sudo | sudo {command} | Executes a command as su. All players may vote (👍 or 👎) on whether or not permission is granted. After 48 hours, permission is granted if there are more 👍 than 👎 votes. |
Each player may perform a number of commands per instance equivalent to their privileges value.
A player cannot perform a command (excluding sudo) unless they are the owner of the file and directory being affected.
~/boot/winning[edit | edit source]
The first player to become a 'superuser' (is_su = true) wins the cycle.
