WARNING: Article moved to separate repo to allow users contributions: https://github.com/raysan5/custom_game_engines

A couple of weeks ago I played (and finished) A Plague Tale, a game by Asobo Studio. I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game.

	# Usage: mv oldfilename
	# If you call mv without the second parameter it will prompt you to edit the filename on command line.
	# Original mv is called when it's called with more than one argument.
	# It's useful when you want to change just a few letters in a long name.
