Hi everyone, finally TM released today :) Just to let TM fans know I will be preparing a small update tomorrow to fix some rare typos and also a small issue (small oversight in last build) when you reach 1000xp the Windows command line test code for unlocking is not showing up in the training mode screen, however the command line test training mode is still accessible in the training mode screen, you can use the same code that is presented on the level up mode screen when reaching 1000xp to also access the Windows command line test on the training mode screen. This update will not effect any saves. Thanks Paul

TerminalMaster is an application written to run in Bash terminal and Windows Command line to help people learn how to use Linux® in the bash terminal from beginner to LPIC-1 (Linux Professional Institute) level, where the user can also level up at the same time to reach a higher Terminal Rank and higher terminal level, TerminalMaster also features other very useful testing/learning tools.

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.
