👑 PACVIM 👑 — the pacman-meets-vim situation, from the General Commands Manual

okay bestie, listen. pacvim is PacVim: it's the pacman game concept but with vim commands. that's literally the whole name. periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pacvim [LEVEL_NUMBER][MODE]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

PacVim is a game that teaches you vim commands. You must move pacman (the green cursor) to highlight each word on the gameboard while avoiding the ghosts (in red). 🟢👻🔴

Vim is a great tool to write and edit code, but many people, including me, struggled with the steep learning curve. I did not find a fun, free way to learn about the vim commands in-depth, and thus, PacVim was born. Inspired by the classic, PacMan, PacVim is a game that'll give anyone plenty of practice with the vim commands while being a ton of fun to play. 🦋✨

Here's your whole moveset, memorise it, it's giving muscle memory:

  • q — quit the game
  • h — move left
  • j — move down
  • k — move up
  • l — move right
  • w — move forward to next word beginning
  • W — move forward to next WORD beginning
  • e — move forward to next word ending
  • E — move forward to next WORD ending
  • b — move backward to next word beginning
  • B — move backward to next WORD beginning
  • $ — move to the end of the line
  • 0 — move to the beginning of the line
  • gg/1G — move to the beginning of the first line
  • numberG — move to the beginning of the line given by number
  • G — move to the beginning of the last line
