How to have fun on the command line?

The command line is boring and only something for nerds. OK, maybe the nerd thing is true, but we can't confirm that it's boring. Or let's put it this way: it is simply a platform on which you can do anything you want. Yes, even have fun. Nerdy fun, in this case. So let's start again. What does fun mean in the terminal? Well, what it means in real life. Playing games, watching movies, telling jokes. Probably the most fun thing anyone on the CLI has ever thought of is recreating a film in ASCII style. That is, with letters and characters. And not just any film, of course. It was Star Wars. If that's too boring for you, because you're just watching, we also have interactive stuff. Because there are also games on the command line. First and foremost the king of all games. Chess. Not the right one either? Then you can also take a look at simpler games. How about backgammon? Also no problem on the CLI. And again it is telnet that allows you to have this fun. But it doesn't always have to be films or games. Sometimes you just want to smile for a moment before you get back to work. Maybe it's not work, because with this command it's possible to find wonderful excuses why you shouldn't do anything. Of course, the command line is first and foremost a working tool. Nevertheless, this article is intended to show, in a funny way, how powerful this tool is and what can be achieved with a little creativity.
