Not really, in fact, playing the game might give you an increased level of comfort when it comes to navigating the command prompt or terminal window.
You do need to read closely, but there are still some conventions like > ex <program_name> <param> where the <> brackets denote a parameter but you don't actually use the brackets in the commands. This will not be intuitive to folks who are not computer nerds lol.
You need to run the 'ls' command to learn more about the contents of a directory. Then to learn more about how to do stuff, run the 'controls' command.
