Between deployments, waiting for builds to finish or just taking a break from client work — I wanted something to pass the time.
Built three Linux-themed games that I actually use when I get time.
- Port Memory Match — match port numbers to their services. Starts easy with SSH, HTTP, HTTPS. Gets harder with MySQL, Redis, MongoDB.
- Terminal Speed Typer — common Linux commands appear on screen; type them as fast as you can. Good for muscle memory too.
- Linux Trivia Quiz — three difficulty levels. Intern gets the easy stuff. Root level will make you think.
Part of a larger sysadmin tools site I built — DNS lookup, SSL checker, email health checker and more.
How many ports can you get right at the root level?
