facundoolano / rpg-cli
rpg-cli is a bare-bones JRPG-inspired terminal game written in Rust. It can work as an alternative to cd where you randomly encounter enemies as you change directories.
Once the binary is installed with one of the methods described above, it can be wrapped on a shell function or alias so the working directory is updated to track to the hero's progress. You can set that up by adding something like this to your .bashrc (with the RPG_CLI variable pointing to the binary location):
When running without parameters, as above, the hero status is printed (health points, accumulated experience, etc.). If you pass in a path as parameter, that will instruct the hero to move:
In this case, the hero moved to ~/dev/facundoolano. Sometimes enemies will appear as you move through the directories, and both characters will engage in battle:
Each character attacks in turn (the frequency being determined by their speed stat). Whenever you win a fight, your hero gains experience points and eventually raises its level, along with their other stats.
