A lot has been done over the last month from some code changes to better functioning of parts of TM to adding more unlockables along with a detailed tutorial for Linux Bash Terminal and Windows command line which includes lessons for all basic commands and some more for terminal newbies, this is a great starting place if your new to these Terminals before heading into training or level up modes.

In other changes the database your currently using is now displayed above the question count:
Lesson numbers have now been added to the SQL/MySQL program:

Next stage

New Database It's been nearly over a month since the last update but I have been busy working away on TerminalMaster and I am excited to announce that I am adding a new unlockable Bonus database called "Mixed Database" (a quarter the way through) before I port TM to Windows. This new database consists of 150 mixed questions from categories such as Networking, Security, and Hardware, and maybe one other, these questions are not exclusively based on terminals like the bulk of TM's existing databases, this will bring TM's total amount of questions up from 1300+ to 1450+


I am also adding two new questions to the Command Line Test bringing that database up to 111 questions. New functioning of app added Level up mode will no longer show previously answered questions Only Training mode will show previously answered questions Level up mode menu now displays your Xp (Also still displayed above questions in that mode) With the latest addition of the Mixed database there is sure to be something to test everyone that's a fan of all things computing :)

So in the last update (Two weeks ago) there was quite a few things to work on as a single developer, despite that I did manage to complete the stuff on the "Working on next" list. The following changes have now been made: Tips are now removed from all levelup modes and are only in training mode When in the early stages of development tips were added throughout the questions, this is because when I first started this app I hadn't planned on going further, it was only ever meant to be a reference for me to test myself to pass my LPIC-1 exams as there were not that many Linux testing apps out there, but it served it's purpose and I did pass the LPIC-1 exams to become CompTIA Linux+ and LPIC-1 certified, now the app has become a lot more than what it was with many tools, tips, levelup modes, training modes, proper menus and a unlockable windows cmd line test etc. 55 new questions added to database C&D, new database D added: Originally there was a standalone Database C (We also have Database A&B with a totally different group of 564 questions which can also be split) with 445 questions, 55 new questions have been added to Database C to bring the total of that Database up to 500, that's a lot of questions when you consider that only 100 of those will ever be randomly output at each session meaning it would be harder to target a specific group of questions, so splitting C to 250 and creating a new database D with the remaining 250 makes sense, we still have the option to use all 500 questions which is why C is now called C&D, so to be clear we now have database C&D which contains all 500 questions, then an option to just use Database C = 250 questions along with an option to use Database D = 250 questions, the same has been done for training mode. Testing: Right now I am currently testing, not so much for app running errors as that's pretty solid but for content,SYNTAX errors,question clarity, difficulty level for the unlockable HARDCORE MODE those type of things which all has to be done before.......................see below. Porting to Windows: After testing the next stage will be to port it to Windows, believe it or not this app actually started on Windows 7 as a different testing app I wrote, needless to say it was barely functional back then so I kept plugging away coding and got a lot better over the years and took up an interest in Linux along the way, it was at this point I decided to program a Linux testing app as mentioned above but on a Linux machine, anyway long story short the porting process shouldn't take too long & recent tests with Windows are solid. Adding Achievements into the app: As stated before this will be the last thing if it happens, and I will do everything I can to include these, I just do not want say right now that they will be 100% be in the final app, I will say though that I do have the icons done for achievements, but I just need figure some stuff out with my code and implementing them, right now I am too busy with testing, porting etc but if they are included you can be sure to be notified here before release.

Just a small update on TerminalMaster's progress
