    Looks cute. Could be fun to delete files in the bin (holy, I meant the trash can, not /bin). Block color could indicate type of file and they could be differently sized as well. More ideas: Infected files that spread the virus, if you don’t kill it fast enough next to it. And hidden blocks with by files starting with a .dot.

    I won’t try it, don’t have Go installed right now and I have some concerns if the programmer did a mistake and something important gets deleted. So be careful playing with fire.

      I have thought about that, but if you delout todo.txt large-folder, the large-folder would probably be too easy to hit. ;-)

      That’s for the Halloween Edition of the game… (no, I probably won’t do that.)

      I have absolutely made several mistakes. :-)

        Or (like in old games) large folders are “heavy”, same size, but needs more hits. And if so, size should be relative to the smallest files (or biggest file).

        :D It gets worse, especially when you try to be careful. At least for me.

          Blocks for folders need one hit per containing file. That’s already in the game. I should probably add a different colour for those though. I’ll choose blue.
