PS: It seems to be, that it's possible to "play" this game without paying for it, but I can't see anything that teaches me how to use vim. ":" and cursor keys? Wow! Everybody, including me knows this and I'm able to venture a guess when using vim too. That's the benefit of an idiotic video game? Wasting time with nonsense, while using vim at least will help to do some work, even without the knowhow to use it in a good way, but anyway some work could be done. I think visually, not in words, but anyway, such a game IMO is less good than a written tutorial and since I'm a dyslexic reading isn't fun for me. Sorry for the unkind words, but there already is too much nonsense on our planet and IMHO this isn't good. Tux math isn't perfect, but tolerable, for a different target group ;). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
