Bash Script for "simple" racing game.
Hello All,
I was wondering if it would be possible to create a "racing" game in script. The game play would be as follows. Script will read the following input:

Start
|b| | | | |
|r| | | | |


First player (b) will roll a die to see how many spaces to move. This is will continue until the player reaches the end.
Roll a 2
| | |b| | |
|r| | | | |

I thought I could read user input, to tell "b" or "r" how much to move. This can be done using "read." I originally wanted to use the awk command to first grab the string and then move it to the next column. To do this, I would have to delete what is in column one, and then write to column three. I figured I could then append/write this to an output file and then use cat to display results.

Any suggestions?

NAME

       tennix -- A funny 2D tennis game with network play support

SYNOPSIS

       tennix [options]

DESCRIPTION

       tennix is a top-view 2D tennis game. It features a two-player game mode and a single-player mode against the computer.

       This is the SDL port of a DOS game written in 2003. The original game can still be found on the web at http://thp.io/2003/tennix/

CONTROLS

       You  can  select the controls directly in the menu. Usually, in two-player game mode, player 1 plays using W, S, D, E, F and player 2 plays
       using O, L, K, I, J. You can also play using mouse, gamepad or Joystick.

       When using network play, you have to configure your opponent with the input device "Network player", and make sure that the  opponent  does
       the same thing (but in reverse).

       P      (Un)pause the game
