Looks like a fun start.

I was once called in to hack into an accounting system because the head accountant was in hospital and not reachable and the next one was MIA (it later turned out he'd been embezzling). It was fun. Naturally, about 2 minutes after I successfully hacked the password, the guy in hospital called.

Yes now i done the matrix to emulate a text screen (as in the C64).
I'm using different columns and rows for the 3 different formats iPhone/iPad.

Now i start to work on the write routine.
As a console or terminal (text screen) each part of the matrix will be a unique letter or space or other.
So i will be able to create also a "TypeWriter" effect and it will have the text to speech system like my GG Basic.

Post 1 updated, read it!!

Eh, i decided 1 year ago to code only for iOS/Mac.
I'm alone in the 80% of projects i do, so for me is much hard.
Maybe is time to enlarge the Team?!

Ok i worked on the command line system.
Now is a real console, with the edit box where you see immediately on the screen what you write.
I also introduced the "TypeWriter Effect", colors, blinking and some other effects, each one of this singularly on the character of the screen.
It also do the famous sound effect "War Games" when the console write responses.

The menu is a test...
Now i have to work on the server side, i have to create the fake file system with the home folder for all the users will connect to the game.

I will work on the line scroll down and upper with a history command list using arrow keys i used in the GG Basic and GG Php.

Yes i'm implementing it on the server side.
Will be an array where all commands will be stored and will be like this:
Commands[0].com = 'cd';
Commands[0].help_eng = 'Change Directory.....';
Commands[0].help_ita = 'Cambia Cartella.....';
etc...

In the past i already developed an Online Virtual Desktop called "GekkOS" with windows and mouse, all coded from scratch (in javascript). Where my users got 100Mb free space to upload and download their files to use everywhere.

Thinkin back to (GG Basic and GG Php) text editor i developed, i will add in this game the possibility to edit a text file in the same way.

It will be very hard for the users that never used a terminal or a console, but i think can be much funny for them to discover how to use step by step.

All the commands and missions will be on the server side so i will be able to add missions and commands without update the binary file.

Ok worked hard on the console because i want it become a standard console for many other apps in the future....
and finally become as i expected!!

Now for example, we can change colors from this (white with no tags):
Welcome to TGC Forum.
in this (red -> white -> yellow):
|f00|Welcome |fff|to |ff0|TGC Forum.

As you can see the console will parse the little hex colors and will compute the difference like trimming it (but not really trimming).

Now i can work on the scrolling buttons and the history of command!!

I like this idea. The console graphics look simplistic and clean - and that font looks just perfect for a console game.

This is the video of the console.
There is a bug in the end on the blink parsing from the command line but i will fix it easy.
Now it connect to the personal User Virtual HD online and verify if it exists.
If exists, it connect and give the command line.
If not it will create a new virtual partition.

The Open Ears LIB is on to read the lines written from the console and the messages.
The recognize also work, and i will add some lines to talk with with him for a conversation with a command.
Example:
Conversation ON
Conversation OFF

There will be a VU Meter for the Input MIC and for the TALK from GGOS.
The list of commands and the software you will get with points will be on our server, so you will use some GG Points to buy (virtually) new hardware and firewalls and modems, etc....

I uploaded the video just now.
Marry Xmas!!

Love the idea of this game - is there going to be a 'network' who slowly hack you and generally work against you?

Yes, i tough of adding a variable factor to emulate network speed (based on the router you have) to give speed to PVP or against a firewall that can catch you before you complete your mission.
Today i will work on the accounts exp, lvl, last mission completed... the setting part and i will complete the commands from console.

After i have to do the check on the command to recognize an exe file to be launched, so the trojan, viruses, and other applications can be launched without specifying the .exe at the end.

And i have to ideate some missions.
Ah of course in this game i will insert all that i learned on iOS, so all the applications i have done:
- Notepad
- Chat
- A little Tic Tac Toe (ahaha it remember me "War Games"
- MediaPlayer
- VideoPlayer
and much other!!!

Actually, by "network" I meant in the sense from channel 4's UTOPIA, a kind of mysterious agency that are out to get you. They hack email accounts, tap phones, and determine your location based on CCTV, ATM usage etc.

Added :
- Keys UP and Down for command history (50 commands)
- Save command history on file and retrieve at launch
- Optimized players for audio and music
- Double line when the text is > screen width
- 10 Missions for tutorial on commands to understand a console



Now working on edit files, so you can make your autoexect or launch batch file to execute some commands automatically
For example if you want some sound at start it will be :
fedit autoexec.sh

and you will write line by line :
mplay Mysong.mp3
spk Welcome my lord

After this i will pass on the CheckMission to give to the user the Exp and GGCoins when he complete a mission.
And the shop to buy new hardware and software (antivirus, trojans, etc)

I am curious about the actual game. So far you are doing a great job of creating a sort of DOS simulator. It's quite far from any hacking game I have tried. What is the player actually going to do in the game?


Demo 3 is out now!

Well there will be some levels (10) to start to understand the old way to use a console, the most of young boys don't know it.
After those levels, they will start to buy with GG Coins (some to start are free) to buy hardware....
For example...
We start with a 286 20Mhz pc and a Pc Speaker and 1Mb of ram and 2Mb of online space....
Now if you have a Pc Speaker you will ear sounds at 8000Hz ahahahah, if you buy a sound card you will hear better ahahah... and play music etc...
If you buy a better cpu your scroll will go faster....

Will come the time you will get the first mission to hack, and you will buy a trojan that you will use to hack the others users online (each users will have a IP based on the database)
When you attack a user the attacked will have some time to break the attack (imagine 30 sec)
Or if the user attacked has the firewall, will be more hard, so the attacker need a better trojan or virus.

Well the ideas will come step by step but i think will be much funny, cause the base system is like a real OS.
I done this to use the App to do what you do usually with the device, but with a console.
So the useful of this App never ends. (well i done it also to have some LIB to develope other Apps like SSH terminal or similar things)

Anyway i prepared a good list of pc hardware.
Will come also the moment you need to buy GG Coins to enlarge your online space.
So i need to calibrate all as well. Very Hard!!!

I will post an image that will be very funny, give me 5 minutes!!!
Ahahahhah....

looking good so far - keep up the good work!
watched your video, but it seems it doesn't yet include the actual hacking part of your game. looking forward to seeing the game play.
as mentioned before, hoping you will consider a windows port at some time down the track.

I done a Tic Tac Toe that learn to play from his errors ahahah, just like in War Games film.
I didn't liked the idea to do a unbeatable Cpu AI so i done one you can beat at start and become more hard day by day.
Ahahah, i'm testing it now....
