vim-escape-room started as a joke that got way out of hand. You wake up inside a terminal with no instructions, a ticking clock, and one mission: exit vim. The catch? The controls are unlabeled, the docs are a lie, and every wrong keystroke makes the editor angrier.
How it works
The game parses real vim keybindings and turns escaping a modal editor into a series of puzzles. Press ESC to get stuck, then ESC again to get unstuck. The state machine is a love letter to vim's modes - and a warning.
Stack: React for the UI, Canvas for the terminal grid, and raw pain for the difficulty curve.
