#12If you wish to give feedback or ask questions; please go ahead. I and a workmate did this at a work-related hackathon a couple weeks ago.
I really hate green on black and would like to read in positive mode (black on white).

#13Man, that took me back to a simpler time.
I for one loved the green on black. But thats probably because I actually used green on black terminals back in my youth...

#14This is just a pet peeve of mine. I don't understand why you ask "Are you sure you want to leave this page" when I click back, or try to close the tab. I am sure - that's why I tried to leave.
edit: fixed typo

#15I absolutely love it. For the last LD I did a terminal-style game too, but it wasn't nearly as good.
Forces the solution. You may need to use this if it fails without it.

#16Yeah, a developer cannot get "design".

Nice idea, but can you allow folks to turn off the fake flickering/display faults. It's hugely distracting. Also the CGA style font is kinda hard to read, perhaps you could allow folks to:
- change the font
- adjust the brightness and contrast
Back in the day when I was a mini-computer engineer our terminal screens were much nicer and crisp.

#18I love this: found a few interesting tools on the internet as I went through it, which was a nice bonus.

#19Is it normal for text adventures you just have to try random stuff?
I had no clue how to get design. I thought I had missed a clue from the developer maybe. Turned out I just needed to enter a command that was not introduced before, or listed in the help page.

#20I tried to `ask richard stallman about gnu`, among other things, but it wouldn't work.
Also, I'd stop the blurring effect after a while, that really grated on me. I'd love to have time to try it properly.
