In this episode of the PowerShell Podcast, we welcome Greg Martin, a longtime developer and PowerShell enthusiast, who has taken PowerShell beyond system administration and into the realm of game development. Greg shares his journey of building Eldoria, a terminal adventure game written entirely in PowerShell, and how his experience across multiple programming languages influenced his approach.
Key topics in this episode include:

Building a game in PowerShell – How Greg used PowerShell to create a rich text-based adventure.
The power of terminal-based gaming – A brief look into ANSI escape sequences, JSON asset management, and the REPL loop.
Greg’s programming journey – From C and C++ to PowerShell, game development, and enterprise automation.
Lessons in curiosity and career growth – How following your interests can lead to unexpected and rewarding opportunities.

Greg also discusses the challenges of structuring a large-scale PowerShell project, how PowerShell’s object-oriented features made development easier, and how anyone can start exploring creative projects with PowerShell.Join the conversation: Bio and links:
