Show HN: Halloween game to show off my new Terminal • Hacker News Board

Really cool idea! I didn't get very far though, as the precarious pathway slowed to a complete crawl with heavy input lag, so I couldn't make any of the jumps (Firefox on an M1 MBP)

FF and M1 here too. The game stops as soon as the ghost pops out in the /cramped_hallway.

Ninja edit: zooming in and out once gets the window to fill the screen. I can continue from there...

This is cool! Reminds me of that old iOS game Hacker Run :)

This was a lot of fun. Thanks for making and sharing.

The "find" command would be very helpful for the last step (to get the passcode).

I found that you can do "ls 0/0/0/0 0/0/0/1 ..."

So I wrote a python program to print out the ls command that shows all directory contents :)

I just see a blank screen. I’m on mobile; if it’s not supported, maybe detect that and put up a message with the GitHub link?

I tried my best to. What is your user agent?
