The Terminal: Reloaded

This lab will re-explore one of our most important and most used tools: the Terminal. The Terminal is what we use to navigate our filesystem, run code files, install software, and do all kinds of other tasks.

👾 💬 Windows Users

Windows users should use Powershell wherever it says Terminal.

You may see more information output than your Mac peers, but all commands should work the same.

[0] Terminal Adventure Lab

The last time you ventured into the Terminal, you came away with treasure! It’s time to dive back into the sea and see what’s hiding.

💻 Use the mwc tool to clone the repo:

mwc update

Going forward, you will be using mwc update to clone repositories onto your computer. No more need to git clone.

💻 Open a new Terminal window and enter into the lab_terminal_adventure_sequel repo:

cd desktop/making_with_code/cs10/unit0.0_review/lab_terminal_adventure_sequel

note how it states the current lab you are in (lab-terminal-adventure2-RFjquM5P-py3.10)

💻 You can now list out the items in the repo as you would normally with: ls

ls

kitchen	    captain.py     helpers.py

👾 💬 Exiting the poetry shell
When you want to exit the shell, you can type exit or ^D

💻 Now take a look at what's in the repository: ls

kitchen	    captain.py     helpers.py    poetry.lock	pyproject.toml

captain.py is a runnable Python file (you can tell by the .py at the end). helpers.py provides some useful functions that are utilized in this adventure, and poetry.lock and pyproject.toml can be ignored.

💻 Run it to see what happens! You will end this lab by successfully making a sandwich! Explore the corners of the kitchen to find the necessary supplies.

[Terminal Commands]

Below are some Terminal commands which might come in handy on your adventure.

Command	What it does
`ls`	List what’s in the current directory.
`cd ~`	Go to your home directory
`cd somewhere`	Go to `somewhere`
`cd ..`	Go to the parent directory
`open file.txt`	Opens `file.txt` with its default program
`cat file.txt`	Prints out the contents of `file.txt`
`python x.py`	Runs the Python program `x.py`
`mv old.txt new.txt`	Renames a file from `old.txt` to `new.txt`. Also works for directories.
`mv file.txt dir`	Moves a file to directory `dir`.
`mv dir1 dir2`	Moves `dir1` to `dir2` or renames if `dir2` doesn’t exist.
`cp old.txt new.txt`	Copy a file from `old.txt` to `new.txt`.
`mkdir bag`	Creates a new directory called `bag`
`pwd`	Prints the path to where you are in the filesystem
`rm file.txt`	removes (deletes) the file `file.txt`
`rm -d dir`	removes (deletes) the directory `dir`
`rm -r dir`	recursively removes (deletes) the directory `dir` and all subdirectories and files within that directory. Be careful, this is a powerful tool!

Delve into the code and try and learn how the Terminal Adventure works. Can you add your own feature?

Some ideas include but are not limited to:

generating different sandwiches depending on the ingredients in the sandwich_maker directory
adding a new quest from the captain after eating the sandwich
writing more rooms into the ship for the user to explore
