[_] we've all heard about cyberpunk and cipherpunk, but here's something new: textpunk. Anonymous

That's right. Textpunk
Newspaper articles, BBSs, IRC, ASCII art, program source code, Novels, View HTML source,
Mathematics, Hieroglyphics, The Rosetta Stone, Gutenberg Bible...
A textpunk doesn't sit there waiting for information to be slowly fed to him drip at a time by
the gogglebox. A textpunk is thirsty for knowledge and 100% focused - they read old school hacker
textfile zines. They don't waste their time with lame imageboarders: instead they're doing crazy
abstract shitposting on /prog/ with thoughts and concepts twisted up so with many levels of irony
that it becomes an art form.
Textpunks recognize and understand the true power of copypasta - how a well crafted piece of text
can be so damn powerful that it alone can trigger thousands of replies with so much veracity
within days. They see through things down into the core of what really counts, everything in the
computer is built of text, ascii, strings of bits - They don't care about the latest 3D GUI
environment fads. No, that's just a distraction. 7-bit clean ascii program source code. That's
textpunk.
Look at how text has shaped humanity: The birth of writing systems was correlated with some of
fastest advances of science and technology in early human history. Mass production of the Bible
took power away from a few select monks and democratized paving the way for people to start
thinking for themselves. Programming is text and it's the closest thing there is in the world to
true wizardy and spell casting. Talking about real SICP-type programming here, not that modern
garbage.
Today textpunks build up digital libraries of books and stick it to the copyright cartel.
Schwarz, lib gen, the gentoomen library, and so many anonymous sources that tireless scan and
collect books.. Textpunks are the people in tune with modern digital society of ultrafast
cost-free transmission of text, they're the ones rethinking and revolutionizing publishing mixing
it with open rights and making works available online.

Nice wall of text, OP.
...But your game doesn't play when to press "p" to start.

Hm it was supposed to.

It's supposed to emulate a terminal, as far as I could find there isn't a flash version that is
standalone. I should have just posted zorg.swf
