Getting Started

An idle RPG for the terminal. It runs next to Claude Code or any shell: start a quest, keep working, collect loot. Luck and patience decide, not tokens, tickets or commits.

npm install -g dungeons-and-deploys
quest login --code <ACCESS_CODE>   # new player, pick a character name
quest                              # start a quest

The game is invite-only: you need an access code from whoever runs it. Already playing on the website? Click Devices there and run quest login --pair <CODE>.

Terminal and Claude Code

• Shell: add eval "$(quest init zsh)" (or bash) to your shell config. Your commands spawn monsters, and $(dnd_prompt) shows the status in your prompt.
• Claude Code: prefix commands with !, for example ! quest. For the status line, add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

  { "statusLine": { "type": "command", "command": "cat ~/.dungeons-and-deploys/status.txt 2>/dev/null" } }

In terminals with 24-bit color, monsters, raid bosses and loot come with pixel icons. DND_ICONS=0 turns them off.

Documentation

quest help lists every command. quest manual and quest changelog show the player manual and the changes of the server you play on. Both are also on the website at dnd.meiners-dev.de.
