VIM Adventures is an online game based on VIM's keyboard shortcuts (commands, motions and operators). It's the "Zelda meets text editing" game. It's a puzzle game for practicing and memorizing VIM commands (good old VI is also covered, of course). It's an easy way to learn VIM without a steep learning curve.
You play a blinking cursor appearing one day in a semi text based world inhabited by little people but ruled by bugs. You soon discover that your arrival was foretold by an old prophecy and that you're expected to restore order to the world.

Just Spaces - GNU Emacs Manual
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Just-Spaces.html#Just-Spaces, posted 2012 by peter in howto reference text
It has always annoyed me that Emacs uses a mixture of tabs and spaces for indentation. People have told me this behavior can't be turned off, but -- lo and behold -- it can:
Emacs normally uses both tabs and spaces to indent lines. If you prefer, all indentation can be made from spaces only. To request this, set indent-tabs-mode to nil. This is a per-buffer variable, so altering the variable affects only the current buffer, but there is a default value which you can change as well. See Locals.

I remember using this handy cheat sheet for Emacs -- or something extremely similar to this -- in 1989. Even in the computer industry, there are some things that don't change that quickly.

Encoding data file within an ascii art!
pictureworthsthousandwords.appspot.com/, posted 2009 by peter in art design graphics hack security text
ASCII art is nothing new, but this takes it one step further by allowing you to embed another data file within the image!
The resulting ASCII art remains printable (i.e. no special unicode symbol) - this means you can print the image out, hang it on your wall, and have it look like an innocent ASCII art when it's hiding a secret document of your choice.
