RUNAWAYDEVIL SYSTEM — NODE 01

You are connected to a text system. It has 80 columns and 25 lines, and it will keep having 80 columns and 25 lines regardless of the size of the window you opened it in. That is not a limitation being worked around. That is the specification.

Getting around

help              the list of commands
ls                what is in this directory
cd journal        go somewhere
read <name>       open something in the reader
latest            the most recent entry
search <term>     look for a word
art               the gallery

Arrow keys walk the command history. Tab completes paths and command names. Ctrl+L clears. Ctrl+C abandons the line you are typing. In the reader, N and P turn pages, and Q leaves.

What is here

journal/     entries, newest first
art/         textmode work, ours and credited
files/       the NFO and the description file
links/       places worth going instead of here
system/      what this thing is made of
about.txt    who is responsible
.plan        what is being worked on

What is not here

No account. No cookie. No tracking. No newsletter. No analytics. Nothing is recorded about this visit anywhere, because there is nowhere to record it: the whole system is static files and a program that runs in your browser.

There is no shell behind this. Commands are matched against a table; anything not in the table is refused. The filesystem you are looking at is a data structure, not a disk.

No warranty. No tracking. No reason to be here. Stay if you like.
