Recently, I've been working on my text-based bash game, Main. It's quite a strange idea and the name (and overall idea) came from me creating a file, main.sh. I didn't know what I wanted to do with it so I put some ASCII art saying “MAIN” and decided to make it a game.

The overall idea I've had for it is a game inside of a game. You begin in a house, with obvious bad grammar such as “{player} in house.” After finding the right path (no spoilers ◠‿・), you get stopped by a guard asking you if you have a legal copy of the game. Obviously, this is a joke, as the game is open source. But if you say yes, you will successfully cross a bridge, and so far, that's all I've come up with.

The unfinished product is on my Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/s4119/main
