This is a command line or MUD interface originally built for a game being developed by @billythekid and I.
This code was sitting somewhat dormant in a project folder, so if you'd like to make use of it feel free to.
I’ve stripped out any game specific things, but I have left in placeholder functions for connecting to a server; this can be used to extend commands, and provide tamper proof online functionality.
The interface
The easter egg
time(displays the current time as a unix timestamp)print/echo(will print the text that follows on screen)about [license](displays information about this project [displays the MIT license for this project])clear/cls(clears the screen)history(displays command history. Can be navigated through with up and down arrows)h4x0r/1337(this easter egg command, makes the terminal area look "hackery"... HACK THE PLANET)help(displays help, showing all avaliable commands)
The javascript code is currently very dependant on the HTML. At some point, I'll make this behave more like a plugin, allowing it to be dropped into an existing interface with greater ease.
As I said this code was thrown together to get us off the ground with a game project. There are a few quirks and sloppy bits of coding.
E.g. $(terminal).scrollTop(900000); yes I know I'll fix this later ;)
Feel free to use this in your project, but please follow the license.
