## What it is
VIM Master is a browser-based game that teaches core Vim motions and editing commands through short, focused, gamified lessons. Lessons are JSON-driven, with XP, combos, achievements, a practice arena, and local progress saves.

## Use cases
- learn vim keybindings interactively
- practice vim motions in a game
- teach vim to beginners
- brush up on vim editing commands
- gamified vim tutorial in the browser
- vim cheat sheet with practice

## When to choose
- you want a fun, low-friction way to learn Vim basics without installing anything
- you prefer short progressive lessons with gamified motivation
- you want an extensible lesson format (JSON) to add your own Vim curriculum

## When to avoid
- you need full Vim emulation or advanced features like macros, registers, or plugins
- you want offline desktop Vim training without a browser/server
- you need a real text editor rather than a learning game

- domain: education, developer-tools, text-editors, gaming-tools
