VIM Adventures

The game consists of 13 levels.

In the first level, Through the Maze, you’ll learn how to navigate the world using the h j k l keys. Then, in The Prophecy, you’ll learn how to jump between the front and back of words, traversing the world even simpler.

Into the Darkness, Replacing Bad, and Deleting Your Way teach you how to replace or delete characters and words by saving the world from evil red letters plaguing the land. Afterward, Flipping Sides and Inline Jumpin’ will have you traversing from one whole line to another, along with searching for phrases that you can move between once you’ve learned the # and n keys in Mind the GAP.

Prime Numbers dives into the concept of motions, where you can specify how many times you want an action to be repeated. Cut n’ Paste, meanwhile, eases your life by introducing you to yanking, pasting, and registers. Input Buffer then, as the level name states, trains you on using buffers as well as a handy look at editing text.

The final levels of the game, Bug Bash and Lorem Ipsum, have you navigating a treacherous maze populated by bugs that you’ll have to squash with your Vim commands.
