CLI-Games is a gaming, training, and social platform with a twist: play alongside programs you write to help you win. By harnessing the intrinsic motivation and objective scoring of games, learning to code can be an enjoyable process. Here, your "level" is your fluency at the command line, your accumulated toolkit, and your social capital; mastery here will net you real terminal literacy at a time when human understanding has never mattered more. Compete, cooperate, collaborate, learn something, or do none of that and just chill. Features include: - 75+ games spanning multiple categories including puzzles, RPGs, board games, casual, physics, training, and more. - Achievement-gated bonus levels. - A practical Capture the Flag (CTF) for serious study that works well on phones. - A repo library called GitHouse where you will practice the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) lifecycle. - Messaging, live chat, and IRC channels. - 30-day rolling leaderboards that award crown time to leaders. - Wiki walkthroughs, blog posts, and manual entries for everything. - An omnipresent AI companion, Clide, who will remind you of syntax but not give away the answer.
