│ WHAT IS A PURITY TEST? │▒
│ │▒
│ One of the internet's earliest memes, these questionnaires │▒
│ circulated on Usenet, participants would score for each │▒
│ "yes" answer and are graded on how pure they were regarding │▒
│ certain life experiences. This was all in good fun of course. │▒
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤▒
│ WHAT IS THE X-PHILE TEST? │▒
│ │▒
│ It's a questionnaire I created that tests ╔═════════╗ │▒
│ just how much you have been corrupted by ║ version ║ │▒
│ T H E X - F I L E S ║ 1.0 ║ │▒

│ HOW DO I TAKE THESE TESTS? │▒
│ │▒
│ In 1989 Eric Lechner wrote a Xenix/Unix computer program │▒
│ called "purity", it reads a test file and presents the │▒
│ questions therein to you, pressing the Y / N keys to answer. │▒
│ The program keeps score and prints your results at the end. │▒
│ Check your system's package manager for "purity". │▒
│ │▒
│ TL;DR │▒
│ 1) install the "purity" package │▒
│ 2) download file "xphile" from below │▒
│ 3) purity xphile │▒
│ │▒
│ Now say that three times fast. │▒
│ │▒
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤▒
│ MY DISTRO DOESN'T HAVE THE PURITY PACKAGE │▒
│ │▒
│ just compile it for yourself, chummer. │▒
│ │▒
│ $ git clone ~wesbat/code/purity │▒
│ $ cd purity │▒
│ $ make │▒
│ $ make install │▒
│ $ purity xphile │▒
│ │▒
│ My xphile purity test is included with this install method. │▒
│ │▒
│ I also made some fixes and enhancements to the program, │▒
│ if you wish to see my changes run │▒
│ "git log --author=wesbat@tilde.town" │▒
│ │▒
│ To get future updates: │▒
│ │▒
│ $ cd purity # wherever you cloned it │▒
│ $ git pull │▒
│ $ make && make install │▒
│ │▒
│ In lieu of the missing man page: │▒
│ less ~wesbat/code/purity/docs/manual.txt │▒
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤▒
│ The program comes with three purity tests — the nerd test, │▒
│ the hacker test, the mtrek test. They are pretty old tests │▒
│ and included as the standard package. │▒
│ │▒
│ There are several extra tests labelled as "offensive", │▒
│ these were popular back in the day, but packaged separately │▒
│ for obvious reasons. │▒
│ │▒
│ You can opt in to install these via "make install_offensive" │▒
│ AT YOUR OWN RISK │▒
│ │▒
│ Offensive tests are rot encoded, you have to supply the decode │▒
│ program argument (see the manual), otherwise the questions │▒
│ are illegible :) │▒
