Dev Log - Major UI Overhaul Coming Soon!

Hello,

Thank you for your patience and support in recent months! A major update is in the works.

It is focused mostly on the game UI - and not just small fixes, but this is about complete overhaul of the game ui and the in-game apps. This update addresses most common issues raised like issues with copy&paste feature, issues with organizing apps, adding more context hints, making the flow more smooth and pleasant to work with.

Some smaller changes how the commands work. For example, "sudo su" and hidden password was often misleading to some players and even raised as bugs occassionaly. I decided to add more information what is going on after typing this command, and decided that in-game usability is more important than sticking to the realistic way of how it works in linux.

I also made changes to some of the apps and how they work. For example, stack-overflow app "mini-game" will be more related to how buffer overflow attacks work in real life.

"Sqlmagic" app was terminal app only, where now it will be more graphical feedback as well. There's more I'm excited to show you very soon, especially few quality of life features that will make working with multiple apps way easier.

I am very close to complete all apps and commands to work correctly with new UI. There's couple of bug fixing I'll have to do, but targeting it for January - though Santa may come earlier.. :)

Happy Hacking!
