Doesn't work for me at all on Arch. I always just see : Press enter to play => You win the game! Without anything inbetween, and it jumps straight to the next level.
Edit: There seems to be an issue for this with a fix. https://github.com/jmoon018/PacVim/issues/28

I've been practicing making Dockerfiles for things so I figured I'd do this one too. https://gist.github.com/allanlw/64aaa1ed1b24fa3eb833da7940b3... Dockerfile style/feedback appreciated, although this is really quite terse
Here's one based on alpine which should be a bit smaller: https://gist.github.com/tlrobinson/f64d80b872338a878d14601ed...
docker run -it freedomben/pacvim
Edit: Here is the PR - https://github.com/jmoon018/PacVim/pull/29
I've never been either old enough (47) or cool enough (-20C) to really give a shit about vi/vim or emacs and co. I merely tolerate them and can do the very basics.
I use joe by preference at the console ("boredom" if you like - no real excitement) and live with nano. vi and emacs I merely tolerate because I generally have to look up something.
kate's alright - she's a pretty lass (for an editor) but needs a lot of Plasma and QT.
Other editors are available. I've never been either old enough (47) or cool enough (-20C) to really give a shit about vi/vim or emacs and co. I merely tolerate them and can do the very basics.

sounds like you'd enjoy emacs
Or try kakoune, a more discoverable and ergonomic rewrite of vim.

The classic key bindings for rougelikes were vi key bindings. So rogue, hack, nethack, moria... Newer games of the genera typically still allow the classic bindings, but not as easily supported.
Back in the early 90s, I learned the vi movement keys through hunt(6) from the BSD Games collection. Can't find a good link for the package, but here is the man page: https://www.unix.com/man-page/bsd/6/hunt/
The 'quiz' program had the data set of 'ed' ( https://github.com/vattam/BSDGames/tree/master/quiz / https://github.com/vattam/BSDGames/blob/master/quiz/datfiles... )
print whole file:1,$p|g/[^|$]/p
1,$p
g/^/p
g/$/p
I don't know if there's much evidence of these game style methods actually working. I tried vim-adventures [1], but just found it annoying. As far as I can tell you just want to apply similar learning techniques as with touch typing, so just typing the letters to the screen.
As a side benefit of learning Vim, it's encouraged me to improve my touch typing because of the added benefit that you can type your Vim commands faster.
I got comfortable on the basic Vim keys using shortcutFoo [0], plus actually diving in to using it full-time. Learning Vim takes full time usage as you need to switch over your muscle memory. I still find that GVim is brilliant for beginners as it is tolerant of using other style shortcuts so you don't burn yourself. Even though you might learn slower you're more likely to progress as it's less frustrating. I don't k…

I felt vim adventures helped me, but then again that's just anecdotal proving your point.
