Sudokil

About this game

Sudokil is a hacking/scripting themed game about using Unix-like commands on a terminal to control computers, robots, and various other devices. Progress through levels and get access to different puzzle elements while collecting more scripts, permissions and tools.

Educational

While the primary purpose of the game is to be a fun puzzle game, it is definitely educational for people who are not familiar with basic Unix concepts such as navigating a file structure with commands such as cd, or ls.

Development

Sudokil is a work-in-progress game, currently in a prototyping/alpha state. Give it a try and leave me plenty of feedback for improvements. I try to release a new version every month with new levels and features. At the moment, all the art is placeholder and to be seen as programmer art.

Current features

• Interactive tutorial level
• 1 puzzle level
• Unix-like command prompt with common commands
• Convenience features such as tab-autocomplete, and history
