Building a gamified terminal emulator
with Chris Fritz
What's a terminal?
(a.k.a. the "command line")
The power of the terminal
Work faster & feel powerful
Combine tools
Customize your workflow
Navigating folders in the terminal
pwd —
ls —
cd —
Print Working Directory
Where am I (which folder)?
List
What's inside the current folder?
Change Directory
Move me to a different folder
The Game
shaky-adjustment.surge.sh
Dev Takeaways
Build only 1 feature at a time and start with only the minimum features to test the idea
First get it working, then clean it up, then make it work better, then move on to the next feature
Break your code into as many small, reusable functions as possible
Use tools that make building faster! Vue.js is an observable state library that made developing this game 10x faster
