I really like the idea of using games to teach command line concepts, like the author did with grep and find. There have been several other ones that have popped up about using vim [1] and navigating a filesystem via cd/ls[2].
I've always wanted to make a unix sandbox environment, using FreeBSD jails provisioned from a webapp, that has little challenges and games to teach the basics of the command line all the way up to hosting a basic HTML website with Apache.
Is this something people would find useful? I've been thinking about implementations but I don't want to jump too far into it without validation that this would be something people would find helpful and interesting.
It sounds like a brilliant idea. I remember learning my way around vim and emacs from interactive tutorials that were basically just text files. I had no idea what I was doing, but it was fun to experiment.
If you implemented your game, I would definitely give it a try. More for fun than for the learning experience, but if I happen to learn something new along the way, I certainly would not complain. ;-)
