'1991: Red Winter' began as a LARK Game for Florida Polytechnic University - Intro to Unix course. It's purpose is to educate the public on the use of Linux/Unix with the terminal, while making a fun and immersive game out of it.
I created my own branch, rebased my branch with the main branch so that I could make sure the changes you made were included, then I fixed the dying functionality since apparently there was still a small bug with it related to the unset mainDir command causing the .batch_prompt_command file not to be found. I just commented the line out to prevent the bug from happening. I also made it so that the initial journal text only gets entered once, and not everytime you abortMission and rejoin the game. Finally, I created a gameTip variable that I think would be cool to have change based on what their last learned commands were, aka the room changes the variable and it gets displayed underneath the logo each time the screen is cleared. I've gone ahead and merged these changes to be with yours in the main branch, so get with me so that we can set you up with your own branch, since I've enabled protections on the main branch, and this way we'll be able to check each other's code and review to make sure we're not going to break something that the other person worked on.
