The npm RPG ⚔🛡💰

https://www.npmjs.com/package/the-npm-rpg

This is a simple command-line RPG. Every time you launch the command, something happens!

NOTE: very early stage of development

TLDR; I want to play !

(need node > 8) Just:

> npx  the-npm-rpg

Full install

If you want to play faster:

> npm install --global  the-npm-rpg
> the-npm-rpg

More info

Inspiration for the game itself was taken from the defunct "boring RPG" https://www.reddit.com/r/boringrpg/.

Inspiration to turn it into a command-line RPG was taken from the "npx" utility, recently integrated to npm. https://medium.com/@maybekatz/introducing-npx-an-npm-package-runner-55f7d4bd282b

Troubleshooting

Please file a GitHub bug.

I can't get the latest version!

npx has a cache. To force a refresh: npx the-npm-rpg --ignore-existing

I can't equip weapons/armors

In progress!!!
