the0show@itchio:~$ Welcome to the Summer 2021 Terminal Jam! Participants of this jam are challenged to create a game in 7 days (extended to 14), that runs entirely in the terminal, like MS-DOS games. You can use whatever programming language you'd like, as long as it can build to an executable file (.exe, .app, .AppImage).
