Super-Template-Tetris VS vigil

Agreed... by nature a "command line game" would have to be turn oriented, I think. I was curious what kind of games where going to be linked here. It seems is mostly games that run on "text mode" on a terminal, as opposed to turn based games using the command line as UI.

Counter example: command line tetris! [0]. Although... still gives the player the advantage of "freezing time" on every move :-).

Reminds me of Vigil. https://github.com/munificent/vigil

Should it be a variation on another programming language, so something that just looks through another language's code and modifies it a little bit like this: https://github.com/munificent/vigil/ or should it have a fully fleshed out parser, lexer, interpreter/compiler etc.?

I code in Vigil. If some part of the code throws an unhandled exception it gets automatically deleted. Bug free app in few invocations!

This reminds me of Vigil, a very odd language derived from python that deletes your code if you break your promises.

Easy, just program in Vigil

Sounds kind of like vigil, where things that are wrong are duly punished

Vigil, but for moral rather than practical reasons.
