Terminal is a nomic taking place entirely within a filesystem.
The following represents the initial state of the file system:
~/ commands/ # owner: su rules/ players/ # owner:
Command | Alternative | Syntax | Description |
---|---|---|---|
mk | make | mk {location or if blank: ~/} {name} {dir/file or if blank: file} {owner or if blank: you, if e or all: all players} {if file: contents as attached .txt file or code block} | Creates a file or 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. A directory with contents not owned by the user cannot be deleted without sudo. |
rn | rename | rn {location} {new name} | Changes the name of a file or directory. |
ls | list | ls {location} | Lists the files in a directory or contents of a file. |
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. | |
exit | exit | Terminates any processes ran by you. |
You cannot perform a command on a file or in a directory that you are not the owner of, unless you use sudo.
Players
A player must be a member of the IN discord server.
When a player joins, the following file is created at ~/players/ named {player name}:
id = {Discord ID} is_player = true inventory = []
If that file already exists (the player has the same id), is_player = true. 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.
Winning
The first player to become a 'superuser' ('su') wins the cycle.
