Educational games to master unix command line?












6















Looking for recommendations, for some simple trainer style games to improve my command line skills.



Could be something similar to https://www.learnshell.org/, or even simpler. At the most basic level, I would be happy to just get a prompt, and feedback, doesn't have to be Ultima Ascension. :)

          Not a game, but the Cisco NetAcad Linux book/course has an emulator built into it that is really really good, and can actually grade lab exercises.



          But to keep it on topic, the games/fun stuff/challenges I recommend to my students are all from https://overthewire.org/wargames
