Savle

Very interesting and scary looking setup (with that danger extruding warning text) you got there! Very original idea indeed.

Could easily add more of these "puzzles" with some trickier requests but of course it would become quite huge. Well, adding some text based stuff or combinations of different file type requests would still work without getting too big. You could even do stuff like zips, even password protected ones and the password would be on another file somewhere etc. That one write protected file on the first customer folder was kind of a let down. I thought it was foreshadowing that the puzzles would get a lot trickier than they actually did. Loved the CupHead OST bit...

I was pleasantly surprised that it worked well with my slightly modified monokai based dark iTerm theme. So you get a 5/5 in the imaginary graphics category from me. savle.png

Managed to beat the 22 meg level with: `22 484 815 bytes (22,7 MB on disk) for 93 items`

It was also easily the hardest level. That or I don't really know what a sunset is :smile:

There also was one digit missing from the last level clue: ``` levelData4Size=145000 levelData4Sizeh="14M" ```

And now that I've looked at the code: - You really should variable those color changes. - One of us doesn't know what a sunset really is. - On level 4, you should probably also check for the non rush folder.

And yes, I did eye out the script after playing and it looks safe :wink:

Good job!

@antti-haavikko Thanks for taking the time to do this huge feedback! I recorded your suggestions and realize that on level 4, it should have a checker for non rush folder, but I forgot to code it. In my mind it was coded but in fact not! :laughing: That was my first Shell/Bash script ever, so I also recorded for color change variable. Thanks again for all!

Haha, what an amazing idea! I decided to trust you, and went ahead and played it blind. I enjoyed the levels which you can solve programatically (by using ffprobe to look at video resolution, for example), but I also enjoyed the levels where you have to look at the content. This game also gives me a motivation to add Emoji support to my terminal emulator! :P

When I first read the description, I though I had to delete some of *my own* files to progress, and that the music would be played. Both assumptions turned out to be false. I had a lot of fun with this! I wished there were more levels, though!

I have over 12 years of experience dealing with the command line and shell scripts. I read this one, and it looks safe! (And contains some neat easter eggs! :3)
