Like the shell, Adventure‘s interface is made entirely of text.
You interact with the world of the game by typing commands and reading responses. ENTER BUILDING or GET LAMP, for example.
The shell is a lot like that game world, except that instead of a map full of rooms and objects, you navigate a computer’s filesystem and work with the files it contains.
The filesystem, everything the operating system needs to boot up, run software, save files, take photos, etc. is organized into directories. We usually call these “folders” in the Windows and Macintosh worlds, but the concept is the same. A directory is just a special kind of file that can contain other files, including directories.
The Illustrated Primer is meant to be a work in progress, and followup guides on more advanced topics are coming soon – let us know what else you’d like to see!
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
