Easy Question! What do I type to start FTL on Linux

[textheavy]

I'm not great on Linux, and I haven't played FTL for months, but today I brought my Ubuntu laptop to the office, and thought it would be fun to play FTL here and there throughout the day.

The problem is that I've forgotten the command to run FTL. I can get into the FTL folder, but there's some special set of characters I need to make it run from the command line. Trying to search such simple information using Google is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the READ ME file doesn't mention it.

I never have (my gaming box is Windows), but I assume there's an executable binary for it.

Do "ls -l" to see the files. You're looking for "ftl" or something like that.
Then type "./" followed by that name. So if it is indeed ftl you'd type "./ftl"
Though frequently Linux stuff is just runnable. Did you try just typing "ftl" from anywhere?

That was what I was looking for. It was case sensitive, so I typed "./FTL" and it started right up.

I used to know this stuff, but my brain has atrophied. Probably too many computer games.

Thank you
