Field notes
The Alien section notes that its on-screen interface appears to parse natural English, then points visitors to a command reference. For TRON, the creator says the terminal gets little screen time and adds activities to fill it out. The Sneakers experience departs from a typed command line: visitors work a logic probe around a chip while hex, letter tiles, and a phone number guide the puzzle.
