One fun idea for you is to theme it as an IDE and code rather than a classic terminal text adventure?

I tried it for an LD a while back but http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Th... didn't really get the text itself to look like code from a squint test, nor get syntax completion finished in time.

That's actually a super cool idea for a developer themed text game. Was it a web based game and is it still playable somewhere?

I've since been shown a nice IRSSI theme too: http://irssi.org/themefiles/c0ders.png
