After a whole night of programming (and then some) I did this to one of my friends. (He left without xlocking his computer).
alias cd ="echo 'rm -rf **' "
That was scary enough. I also put this line in his.bashrc file:
xhost + >>/dev/null
Then I was popping prom on his screen for the rest of the morning. It took him a while to figure out how I was getting in. He locks his computer, opens up a new xterm and here we go again...
Allnighters are scary if You as me!
I've had the same problems. I love strategy games, but was unable to find games with the depth I want. Here is what I did with Warcraft II.
1. Find a friend/friends that have similar interests.
2. Create Your own scenarios for Your game.
3. Play cooperative mode against larger/more opponents.
I remember two of my maps. One took about 3/4 hours to finish. Imagine a large map divided into 3 areas. Top 1/3 is for You, your friend and a computer controlled ally. Bottom 1/3 is for 3 computer controlled enemies. The middle is a wasteland where nothing can grow. That is where most of the fighting happens. Both You and the opponents have nearly unlimited resources. Include a very strong defensive wall for Your opponents and You've got quite a fight. Total losses on both sides were in the thousands.
The last map I never actually managed to win. I called it back_to_back. Divide the map into nine areas (tick tack toe grid). You and Your friend share the centre square. Put 7 enemies all around You. The opponents have unlimited resources. You do not (due to the lack of space). I lost my last game by casting death and decay a bit too close to our defensive wall. The enemies got through and we were both destroyied in 60-90 seconds. How well do You trust in Your friend's ability?
