Space Invaders - written entirely in the Bash shell, in a 248-line shell script.
The shell is often seen as old hat, hard to use, green screens and no interaction. In my new book, Shell Scripting (http://facebook.com/shellscript), I attempt to throw a new perspective on this; the shell can be used in lots of creative and imaginative ways.
The book also covers creating CSV files to easily plot complex data in spreadshe
ets, creating HTML as well as parsing HTML documents; I plan to post more update
s before its launch on 12th August 2011.
