  • Improvements winking to the windows - 8 March 2023

    Snap layouts Snap layouts are a series of predefined zones where you can place each app for quick access. Snap layouts help users arrange applications in five different ways. https://i.ibb.co/qgC9K63/CHAQS-Snap-Layouts.png As shown in the animation below, you can access this feature from the panel that opens when you drag any application to the middle-upper part of the screen.

  • Great and unfortunate things - 31 January 2023

    Improved the fix parameter of the challenges command added to the game by releasing a quick update regarding the issue where a player completed the 7th Challenge (Charon) but the game crashed during this time and could not move on to the next challenge despite answering all the tasks correctly. Although the probability of encountering this situation is low considering that it occurs for the first time, it is still not zero. Therefore, considering that there are too many commands in the game, a person who may encounter this situation may not know this solution, the method will automatically check when the game is restarted. A notification will be sent if problems are found during the execution of the relevant command or the check at the start of the game. https://i.ibb.co/kgKmv9K/CHAQS-Problem-Solved.gif Callbacks If none of the automatic api call files located in the api folder under th…

The cronjob executes the valid jobs according to the specified repeat parameter. Repeat parameters are #minute and #hourly. Jobs scheduled with a cronjob are written to the /etc/crontab file and performed when the time comes. The performed job is rescheduled according to the repeat parameter until it is removed. https://i.ibb.co/qJ9C16H/provide.png provide: Provide command allows you to make API requests within the game. With the Provide command, file deletion, download and upload operations can also be performed. For file operations, the action after the api call must be specified as a parameter. Automatic…

  • Recovery has been temporarily disabled - 24 December 2022

    Recovery has been temporarily disabled due to the conflict causing the error. As a quick solution to investigate the Alt+tab error sent by Milan by mail, the Recovery function has been disabled. Something probably goes wrong with this process, which was created to prevent the player from changing the files during the game. Since this bug did not occur in any of the tests, I would be happy if players who faced the bug report with feedback whether the temporarily disabled recovery process has resolved the issue. In addition, resolved the bug where exifsm command subtracts the current result (if any) by concatenating it with the previous result, and the dna command encoding error returning an empty result.

  • Revisions - 25 November 2022

    In-game ssh and nc connections were causing terminal tabs to be confused. This situation has been reconsidered.

  • Terminal error and other minor things - 15 November 2022

    The precaution taken to ensure that the terminal output does not exceed the ui vertex limit was causing the rich text content to be corrupted. This situation has been resolved. Regex validation for following commands: cat, cd, cp, cpdir, mkdir, mv, mvdir, rm, rmdir, touch. Rich text is disabled for some input fields or subjected to regex validation. Alpha channel verification for custom wallpaper The input in the search field was not displaying the correct results for apps. Search field now works properly.

About this game

CHAQS is an instructive CTF (Capture The Flag) game that performs the basic functions of an operating system. While it meets your expectations from an operating system to a certain extent with the applications it contains, CHAQS progresses in the direction of more challenges in terms of gameplay. Therefore, it meets the visual needs of the user with its graphical interface, but the terminal creates the entire game aspect of CHAQS. Although all of the terminal commands are written to meet gaming needs, some of them can operate outside of these needs. The prepared challenges do not fully reflect real-world ethical hacking, they are similar. Terminal Terminal is a command-line interpreter that provides a command line user interface for CHAQS. The terminal, which was developed inspired by the Unix shell, is the most important part of the game with dozens of commands and command line utilities. Terminal commands and utilities : alias, apropos, amorse, ascii, audiodecoder, base, binary, brainfuck, calculate, cal, cat, cd, challenges, charon, checksum, clone, cronjob, count, cowsay, cp, cpdir, df, diff, dig, dirbuster, disconnect, dna, dtmf, du, echo, enum4chaqs, execute, exifsm, extract, factor, fibonacci, file, find, free, grep, hash-identifier, head, hex, history, hostname, imager, imap, import, interface, ip, ipconfig, kill, killall, linq2chaqs, logname, ls, man, mandb, mkdir, morse, mousemove, mv, mvdir, nc, neeko, nevr, nyx, permutation, piet, ping, provide, ps, pwd, pwsh+, qrsm, rename, renamedir, rm, rmdir, rot, save, scp, sfc, service, sort, sqlmap, ssh, steg, stegoimage, strings, submit, sysinfo, tac, tail, touch, traceroute, translate, trash, tree, uname, unzip, upload, uptime, wc, wget, whatis, whitespace, whoami, whois, xclip, xor Challenges Challenges are missions tailored for the game. In order to move on to the next challenge, the answers to the current challenge must be provided. Beginner challenges offer insights that are designed to provide you with the necessary guidance, gracefully and intelligibly. Challenges allow you to interact with all terminal commands and command line utilities. Runtime Compiler CHAQS has a runtime compiler that executes a…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 25, 2026 to Sep 25, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $4.95
  • Highest observed: $4.95

CHAQS's USD price history spans from Sep 25, 2026 to Sep 25, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $4.95, the highest is $4.95, and the first visible tracked price is $4.95. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 1
  • Discounted days: 1 day
  • Deepest markdown: -50%
  • Latest sale window: Sep 25, 2026 to Sep 25, 2026

SteamPulse has grouped rows carrying discount metadata into 1 recorded discount window, covering 1 calendar day and 1 discounted snapshot. The deepest recorded markdown is -50%, with a lowest recorded final price of $4.95 during rows named Steam sale. The latest recorded window starts Sep 25, 2026 and ends Sep 25, 2026, spanning 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking. Window boundaries follow the available snapshots, so gaps in coverage can make an actual sale shorter or longer than the recorded span.

Recorded sale names include Steam sale. The table reports the observed markdown, final price, snapshot dates, and any sale name supplied with the row. It can show whether similar discounts recur in the retained record, but it does not infer publisher intent, demand, or the reason a price changed.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.95, from Sep 25, 2026 through Sep 25, 2026. The latest run records $4.95 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking with a listed discount from $9.90. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $4.95
  • Current list price: $9.90
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records CHAQS at $4.95 in USD, with a listed base price of $9.90 and a -50% markdown. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
