Program Ideas for my PC

Help
1

So I have recently got my GKC PC finally working. I only have one program, and that is a command console. I need ideas of programs to add to the PC. Btw it is a TUI not a GUI, so games are out of the picture.
FYI I have ~19% memory to work with.

Edit: anyone who makes a program that I add to the PC will be credited.

Accepted Ideas :

I did intend on adding this but I didnā€™t have a name so Iā€™m just going to give you the credit for it.

Maybe make a app you can play in

A maze would be impossible with the memory I have left, but Iā€™ll consider RPS!

How about a web browser?

You can make a search bar and three interactions like
Gimtube, Google, and opera GX,
TODAYS SPONSER!

But yeah, you should add those features i feel like it would make the game more interactive

@Random_dude123 A web browser would be over the top and probably impossible with my memory budget.
@SEEK Great Idea. Iā€™ll consider it!
@Fleet A calculator is a great idea! Idk about pinball and minesweeper
Idrek what minesweeper is tbh and pinball would require a lot of brainstorming and would most likely be very un-efficient memory wise
@Ian_is_a_yay I said I would consider rock paper scissors. Sorry if RPS was not understood. I just didnā€™t really feel like typing the whole thing out lol.

If a game wants to be added to my system, since Iā€™m noticing a lot of game suggestions, it has to be text-based, and anything that isnā€™t an rng game is probably well out of my memory budget.

I could make the game work with maybe even 1 trigger, but the amount of barriers for it would be an unholy amount. Unless you can think of a memory efficient way to create the crossword layout, this one is probably off the table sadly.

You could add a Gimkit version of Minesweeper, that will get people to like your map, and encourage players that like it to play your map again.

A text-based game?

  • You pick up the mirror. Move or look around.
    • NORTH
  • The mirror breaks as you run into the NORTH wall.

@mutantSackboy4 A text-adventure game would be very cool, but since it is your idea, I think it would be better if you wrote the lore for it! (definitely not just trying to avoid work xD)
@Ayden1 Youā€™re the 2nd person to recommend Minesweeper, so maybe I should make it to increase popularity.
@Ian_is_a_yay I will probably end up making my own method using propertys, but itā€™s cool that you made your own version!

@Suspnded_Arr0w_Shaft What if

Instead of a full functioning web browser, you make an error screen every time you try opening it.

Okay!
Small game with multiple endings, similar to the ā€œEscaping the Prisonā€ game.

Length warning. Open at your own risk.
  • You are in a room. There is a window on the WEST wall, a door on the NORTH, and a light switch on the EAST. You canā€™t see anything else.
    • SOUTH
  • (if the user hasnā€™t turned the light on) Thereā€™s nothing there.
  • (if the user has turned on the light and not taken the Key) Thereā€™s a KEY on the shelf.
    • (If the light is on) KEY
  • You take the Key. Thereā€™s also a jacket underneath the desk. Take it? [YES/NO]
    • YES
  • You take the Jacket.
    • NO
  • You decide against taking the jacket.
  • (if the user has taken the Key and the Jacket) The desk is empty.
  • (if the user has not taken the Jacket but has the Key) The jacket is still sitting under the desk. Take it?
    • YES
  • You take the Jacket.
    • NO
  • You decide against taking the jacket.
    • NORTH
  • The doorā€™s locked.
    • KEY (if the user has the Key)
  • You unlock the doorā€¦
  • (if the user does not have the Jacket) You freeze to death. (Popsicle II Ending)
  • (if the user has the Jacket) You leave the building. (Success Ending)
    • WEST
  • The window is locked, but snow is falling. Thereā€™s a small crack in the window, and a cold draft is blowing in.
    • BREAK
  • You shatter the windowā€¦ And freeze to death. (Popsicle Ending)
    • EAST
  • The light switch seems sticky, but you might be able to USE it.
    • USE
  • You flick on the light switch. You notice a shelf in the SOUTH.

If I missed anything, let me know! Iā€™m about as scatterbrained as a box of several puzzles.
