Show HN: Halloween game to show off my new Terminal

Hi hi,

I made a little Halloween themed game this week to show off my new terminal. You can play it in the browser. at https://joel.tools/halloween/

Two years ago, I started building an experiment tracking tool for myself as I have been venturing into ai research, and it has morphed into a terminal with rich content support and a bunch of fancy features. https://github.com/JoelEinbinder/snail/

I can't recommend people start using snail for important stuff today, but I think the game is fun and it shows off a lot of the capabilities of the terminal.

Despite the warning that it might not work on mobile, it works quite well on my iPad… that said, a few of the monster fights happened at just over postage-stamp resolution.

Super fun little game.

Thanks!

I don't have an iPad to test on but I'll try it out in the simulator. I assume you were using an attached keyboard? I would guess that the soft keyboard would not appear in the monster fights.

Great game! I am a fan of text-based adventures. This is a nice mix of text-based commands, and a GUI.

Wondering out loud: is it possible to generate an atmospheric horror tale like "Anchorhead" via prompts? Perhaps it's already possible.
