Add a New Python Game: Escape the Terminal #744

@AnuushkaY

Description

@AnuushkaY

Create a fun and interactive terminal-based game called “Escape the Terminal.”

In this game, the player must solve small logic or word puzzles to unlock doors and escape from the virtual terminal.
Each level presents a different type of challenge (math, word, code, or riddle). The game uses simple text-based interaction and adds suspense through slow-typing effects.

Key Features to Include:

  • Multiple levels with increasing difficulty.
  • Randomised clues for replay value.
  • Three attempts per puzzle before the player “fails.”
  • Typing animation for immersive effect (using time.sleep).
  • No external libraries required — just Python’s built-in modules.

Why This Is a Good Addition:

  • It’s unique and creative compared to common terminal games.
  • Perfect for beginners learning control flow, strings, and logic.
  • Compact and fun — easy to contribute or modify.

Tech Stack:

  • Python
  • Uses only built-in libraries (random, time)
