    Doron Linder , 2012 - 2023. All rights reserved.What is VIM Adventures?VIM   
   Adventures is an online game based on VIM's keyboard shortcuts (commands,   
   motions and operators). It's the "Zelda meets text editing" game. It's a   
   puzzle game for practicing and    
   memorizing VIM commands (good old VI is also covered, of course). It's an easy   
   way to learn VIM without a steep learning curve.You play a blinking cursor   
   appearing one day in a semi text based world of Textland inhabited by little   
   people but ruled by    
   bugs. You soon discover that your arrival was foretold by an old prophecy and   
   that you're expected to restore order to the world (in case you didn't make it   
   to level 2 yet...).How to playYou start the game with only the ability to move   
   up, down, left,    
   and right. As you progress, you talk to people and collect items and keyboard   
   buttons. Each keyboard button adds to the set of commands you can give the   
   cursor, until you master VIM.You can also perform operations such as login,   
   load and save game and    
   others using the in-game menu at the bottom of the screen. For a complete list   
   of commands you can type in the command line mode, please type ':help :'   
   (without the quotes).These instructions are all you need to know. Hints   
   scattered throughout the game    
   help you and ease the learning process. You can't advance to the next level   
   until you master a skill!Getting helpThe little people of Textland have a lot   
   of helpful tips to share so make sure you talk with each and every one by   
   bumping into them.In    
   addition, every time you pick up a keyboard key, an explanation of what the   
   key does and how it should be used is displayed. This window can be closed   
   using ESC (as any other window in this game) and you can walk through the   
   example using the '+' and '-'    
   keys. You can get help on additional keys using the syntax ':help char' by   
   replacing char with the character or word you would like to get help on. You   
   can also type a topic such as 'registers' or 'text-objects' to get help on   
   that topic. See below for a    
   full list of possible arguments for the :help command.If you don't remember   
   which keys you collected so far, or need to refresh your memory a little, you   
   can click on the keyboard icon in the in-game menu, or type ':keyboard' to see   
   a keyboard with your    
   current available keys highlighted. Clicking or pressing on a key will show a   
   short description of its function.Stuck in the game and don't know how to   
   proceed? Can't find that key or complete a text? Check out the VIM Adventures   
   facebook page or send us    
   a question to Topics for :help commandThe following characters, commands and   
   topics can be used after the :help command:
