The project began at June 7th this year, 2015. At the very first I’ve thrown together a bunch of JavaScript functions some CSS and HTML code to get the prototype of a Terminal / Console application.

It was very important to me to get the right feeling. So I haven’t used a basic input field but wrote my own key-capture function and fed it into an HTML-Element which I could style the way I wanted to.

In the next few days the basic Command structure was implemented (it is very mod-friendly). A command can take the control of the Terminal and request more information to perform it’s duty - the login command for example.

When you type login the command requests your email, after you fed the email the command requests the password. After that the login-command is executed and the user gets in control again.
