ShellGames

Games are educational! One of the best ways to learn a new computer system inside and out is to figure out how to make it play games.

Shell Games is a sub-project of YearOfTheShell with the purpose of inspiring use and exploration of PolarHome's command shell systems through classic text-based gaming.

For this project we will:

1. Inventory games currently installed on PolarHome hosts.
2. Test and debug games that are not working up to spec.
3. Install or port new games.
4. Enhance games. (An all-PolarHome web-based Rogue leader board; ...?)
5. Organize competitions and tournaments.
