A lot has happened since the last announcement, firstly both the Windows and Linux versions of TerminalMaster are fully complete and the cloud storage feature has been added for saves.
Unfortunately I ran into more than one technical issue with the Linux version, I mean it fully runs natively
on almost all versions of Linux, but given the nature of the project and getting the whole thing working with Steam back end proved quite problematic for my particular project so it's with great disappointment I have to announce the cancellation of the Linux version of TerminalMaster :(
Coding started out on Windows and jumped to Linux, almost all code for TerminalMaster was written on a Linux machine so the Windows version is at heart the Linux version just running on a different OS.
The good news is we have a fully functional Windows version, TM hasn't been cancelled and cloud saving has been added.
I can now fully concentrate on trying to implement achievements.

🕹️ Partial Controller Support
🎮 Full Controller Support
100 questions are randomly outputted from a larger database each run, the user is presented with three possible answers for each question with only one being the correct one, the user must then choose the correct one by typing the actual correct SYNTAX (the SYNTAX can also be copied and pasted to answer, this can be useful if the user does not wish to type them) that would be used in the real Bash terminal, because it's run in a terminal it gives an authentic feel to the real thing and users can remember the syntax overtime and use it within their own Linux installation.
TerminalMaster will also present the user with true or false questions or to choose the correct number for other questions so there is a mix of SYNTAX, true or false & choose the correct number type of questions.
Training mode: In training mode the timer is turned off and if the user gets a question wrong the correct answer is outputted, there is no level up in this mode.
Level up mode: In this mode the user can level up with an XP system in place, you start of as Terminal Rookie and work you way up to the highest Terminal rank, in this mode if you get a question wrong you won't be told the correct answer and there is a timer in place (one hour) but if you get the answer right you get XP, the more XP you get will level up your Linux Rank, you pass if you answer 85+ questions correctly, xp is saved and is carried over to all level up modes and even if you quit early.
Features over 1300+ questions in total which are randomly outputted from different TerminalMaster databases.
3 Linux question databases, 2 of which can be divided into smaller tests to target a specific group of questions from a larger one.
9 colours to choose from (Colors may vary depending on OS and version)
Audio (Sytem bell) sound if you get a question right (Works currently only on Gnome Desktop) or the user can mute their computers audio.
