Enhanced World of Haiku: Unveiling an Array of Exciting Updates!
We've listened to your valuable feedback and made significant enhancements, addressing both in-game issues and expanding the depths of the storyline.
Refined Storytelling:
We've revisited missions 1A, 4A, and 5B, meticulously fine-tuning the mission text and hints. The updates ensure that the instructions provided are now clearer and more concise, allowing you to navigate the challenges with greater precision and confidence.
Revamped Apps:
Introducing the redesigned Nitro app! Discover a whole new level of convenience and flexibility with Nitro, now a permanent icon located at the bottom left of your screen. With three distinct modes - Minified, Focused, and Full-View - you can customize your Nitro experience according to your preference. Choose "Minified" to reduce Nitro to a small icon, "Focused" to display only the last received message, or "Full-View" to view the complete app with all conversations at once.
Notable Fixes:
We've resolved an issue that prevented you from re-titling a note if you deleted its entire content. Enjoy the freedom to update your note titles effortlessly.
Opening the same note no longer results in a repetitive animation or interferes with any game states. Seamlessly access your notes without any disruptions.
We've addressed known issues with Rascal notes, ensuring smooth and consistent functionality.
Streamlined Hint System:
Your gaming experience just got more immersive with the hint system now suppressed. Engage with the challenges in a more focused manner as the hint system takes a step back, allowing you to rely on your own problem-solving skills and intuition.
A full list of technical updates can be found here:
[ADD] New command: touch
[ADD] Environment variables, cleared by "session" (they get cleared when you connect to a device). Currently available by default only $COLUMNS, $PWD and $OLDPWD. We will expand these and their uses in the future.
[ADD] Brace expansion. These can be nested (require the pattern {,} to match, {} does not match). Ex: > touch file{,0,1,2,3,-copy.{txt,last}}
[ADD] arguments for ls:
- l:
long listing, shows extra data like permissions to read, write and execute, loyal to posix version of > ls -l - h | --human-readable:
applies only when -l is present, shows file size in human-readable format (1K, 234M, 2G, etc.) - a | --all:
show hidden files
[ADD] Made > ll an alias for > ls -l, which is commonly used and even implemented by default in some distros.
[ADD] posix style parsing of flags options for every command that needs them, like ls. This means > ls -l -h -a has the same meaning as > ls -lha, > ls -ahl or even > ll -a -h. It should work with any combination, order, or amount of provided flags.
Updates:
[UPDATE] ls will not show hidden files by default (files that start with a . like the .ssh folder).
[UPDATE] ls will now work with a single file. Useful to see its permissions along with -l option.
[UPDATE] Man page for ls.
[UPDATE] cd - reads the content of $OLDPWD to go back and forth
[UPDATE] ":" is a word separator (used by ctrl+delete, ctrl+backspace, ctrl+left/right)
[UPDATE] Soft refactored scp to reduce extra work, and added context aware autocomplete for it, based on ssh autocomplete.
[UPDATE] Terminal backend improvements.
[UPDATE] Tweaked and established the concept of file sizes for ls, since it is the third command that interacts with the notion of a file size (or disk usage), along with du and scp. [UPDATE] Changed file size calculation for Horseman virus files. They weigh 666 bytes until cracked.
[UPDATE] Zion is uncancellable.
[UPDATE] Appropriately renamed du to dust, du is now the alias.
[UPDATE] Dust now sorts the results recursively by file size, and lists the biggest ones below (files and then directories). [UPDATE] Dust problem when appending very large lines of text at the end, occurs when a very large file name or very nested directories are found.
Fixes:
[FIX] Error when running john on a binary file.
[FIX] Known issues with SSH.
[FIX] Fix autocomplete after downloading a file via the curl command
The Dirb Dojo Release
In this new level, you'll be introduced to K.O.N.A, the Dealer's AI, and learn how to use the powerful "Directory Buster" tool known as Dirb. With Dirb, you can scan web content for existing and hidden objects by launching a dictionary-based attack on a web server and analyzing the response. But be warned, it's not just about finding what's there, you'll also need to be on the lookout for what's not there!
To enhance your search even further, we've added two new parameters to Dirb: "-v" to show pages that don't exist, and "-x" and "-X" to amplify your search with extensions. Are you ready to take your cybersecurity skills to the next level? Join us now in this exciting new adventure!

March 4th Transmission
The team has made some improvements to the game's terminal functionality by introducing two new commands: "file" and "unzip". These commands will make it easier for players to manage their files and extract the necessary data. But the real highlight of this update is the introduction of steganography, a new concept that will challenge players to hide and extract files in images.
Players will embark on a new quest that expands on the V1 story and we have included a new dojo where players can practice these new skills and perfect their techniques.
We want to remind our players that the dojos are replayable and that the flags and network properties are randomized, ensuring that each playthrough is unique and challenging. We hope this adds to the replayability of the game and provides a fresh challenge for those looking to hone their skills.
Haiku is also pleased to announce the introduction of the World of Haiku Store, which will allow players to purchase virtual items within the game. This month's items include the Dojo+ (Dojo and Quest) and a new avatar called Omen Parks. We have also added a new avatar selection app, giving players more options to customize their in-game appearance.
Finally, we have added a new volume 2 map to the game, as well as a new avatar called Omen Parks. We have also implemented serialized player preferences in an editable ini file, which will allow players to save their game preferences across multiple sessions. Additionally as mentioned above, we have added a new file type, the zip file, and integrated Badgr as Canvas Credentials.
We hope you enjoy these updates and encourage you to continue to provide feedback to help us improve the game.
