Hello all.
This is one of the ideas I've had floating around in my head for a while.
Basically, it dumps you into a "dungeon" (which is actually your file system/hard drive), and generates descriptions for your files.
For example, a program could be called a "large murderous laser", while a data file could be called a "tiny clear shovel". (These are actual examples from testing).
The names don't have to make sense, and that's part of the charm, i suppose. I've also included a few shout outs.
The entire experience is like playing a text-based adventure game,
By default, it shows true filenames along side the generated descriptions, but you can disable this by running this program with the
Commands:
Or, if you would rather download it from in game:
Please do note that this was intended as a small novelty to pass the time with.
You could use it as an actual file manager, but it would be inconvenient, to say the least.
If you're feeling frustrated, you can fire this up and slay every file on your hard drive, without suffering any consequences!
Also, yes, I know that the title is horrible and that this post is horrible.

--no-file-namesCommands:
- "slay" "kill" "destroy" - Deletes a file. (Well, it actually moves it to the "underworld" folder in the root directory.)
- "use" - Runs a file with no arguments.
- "move" "transmute" - Moves a file.
- "copy" "duplicate" - Copies a file.
- "examine" "look" - Shows a file's true name.
- "exit" - Exits the game.
