eXit - A Terminal-based Game Recreation from Mr. Robot

Welcome to eXit, a fan recreation of the terminal-based game featured in Mr. Robot (S4E11). This project is built using Go and the Bubble Tea framework.

Not only does this game stay true to the original look and feel from the show, but it also includes hidden easter eggs that fans of Mr. Robot will appreciate. Additionally, I've utilized Ansify, one of my other projects, to convert key scenes from Mr. Robot into terminal-friendly ANSI images, creating an immersive and authentic gameplay environment.

To play this game yourself, simply run ssh -p 24 zachl.tech in your terminal.

🚀 Features

• Classic Terminal-based Gameplay: Experience the eerie and nostalgic feeling of playing eXit just like in the show.
• Hidden Easter Eggs: Discover references to iconic scenes and moments from Mr. Robot as you play.
• ANSI Art Integration: Utilizes Ansify to bring scenes from Mr. Robot to life in the terminal with ANSI images.
• Terminal Animations: Smooth terminal animations enhance the gaming experience.
• Future Terminal Game Engine: This project will serve as a foundation for a fully-fledged terminal-based game engine in the future.
• SSH Support Coming Soon: Play the game over SSH with Docker integration for a seamless, accessible experience.

🎨 ANSI Art & Animations

This project integrates with Ansify to convert scenes from Mr. Robot into terminal-friendly ANSI images. As you progress through the game, you’ll encounter animations and visuals that bring the Mr. Robot universe directly into your terminal.

Creating Your Own ANSI Art

If you'd like to customize the game’s scenes or add your own, you can use Ansify to convert images into ANSI format, ensuring they are compatible with the terminal interface.

🖥️ SSH Access

Run ssh -p 24 zachl.tech in your terminal to play eXit!

🌌 Future Plans

• Terminal Game Engine: I'm working towards developing a full-featured terminal-based game engine based on the mechanics and aesthetics of eXit. This engine will support animations, ANSI art, and complex game mechanics—all within a terminal environment.
• More Easter Eggs: Expect additional hidden features and references for Mr. Robot enthusiasts... and maybe this will be a key to the puzzle for my CTF/Treasure Hunt (Coming Soon...)
