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?

GAMECLOCK(6)							   Games Manual 						      GAMECLOCK(6)

NAME

       gameclock - a simple game clock

SYNOPSIS

       gameclock

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the gameclock command.

       gameclock  is  a  simple application designed to track the time spent thinking by the players during a chess game. Various ways of tracking
       time are supported, with only `countdown' (aka `blitz') and `fisher' for now. The graphical interface is keyboard driven and is intended to
       be minimal and simple. The code is made to be extensible to other game types.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (--).  A summary of options is included
       below.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options. This includes the program's version and license.

       -v, --verbose
	      Show progress information to standard output. More `-v' will display more information: timestamps then game state engine.

       -f, --fullscreen
	      Start the application in fullscreen mode.

KEYBINDINGS

       Most of the interface is keyboard-driven, apart from the initial clock and game configuration.

       space  start the game / end turn

       shift keys
	      end the turn, but only for the appropriate side (left or right side)

       p      pause game

       control-r, escape
	      reset game - this resets all counters and clocks to the initial configuration, use this to restart the game.

       f      toggle the fullscreen mode

       control-q
	      quit application
