Develop Player Progression

[z3d6380]

Using the module progression we learned in class, player will progress in learning linux by gradually being exposed to the material learned in the Unix course.

Alec will select what material from our class will be best to include in our game without making the game so complex that we can't finish it in the month we have.

Player needs to learn:

cd - Character Moving around physically or through files on PCs
ls (-lah) - Character physically looks around or is listing files on PCs
grep - can be used for character to filter to items of importance in specific "physical" rooms or for filtering through files on PCs
cat - equivalent to reading or looking at in detail objects, files, etc.
vim ~/notebook to keep track notes and player progress (we can explore automating some notes for certain objects but leave some manual input as well)
wc -l - come in handy when the answer of counting things is important for plot progression
chmod - for dealing with locked rooms or files
stdin & stderr - for solving puzzles with errors or unnecessary data
piping - stringing actions together to do multiple things at once
