veltman/clmystery: A command-line murder mystery; an interactive tutorial for learning the *n*x command-line
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/01/18
Since I’m on a series of interactive tutorial sites, yesterday’s The SQL Murder Mystery made me bump into a project by [Archive] Noah Veltman (@veltman) / Twitter: [Wayback/Archive] veltman/clmystery: A command-line murder mystery
There’s been a murder in Terminal City, and TCPD needs your help.
To figure out whodunit, you need access to a command line.
Once you’re ready, clone this repo, or download it as a zip file.
Open a Terminal, go to the location of the files, and start by reading the file ‘instructions’.
I did a quick [Archive] clmystery – Twitter Search / Twitter and found the first ever Twitter mention to be this one from 2013 (boy, have I been living under a stone <g>): [Archive] RoR Group on Twitter: “A command-line murder mystery (clmystery) …” / Twitter.
Cool things:
- one web-page that fits all [Wayback/Archive] Commits · veltman/clmystery
- a solution using Python (which lots of single and dual character variable names for “clarity”): [Wayback/Archive] CLMystery as a python “one-liner” (well, one expression)
