Bash Theft Auto – a GTA-inspired open-world crime game in pure Bash

I built a text-based open-world crime game entirely in Bash, inspired by the GTA series.

Features: - Multiple cities to travel between (Los Santos, Vice City, Liberty City, etc.) - Jobs (legitimate and criminal) with location-based payouts - Inventory system: weapons, drugs, health packs, body armor - Drug buying/selling economy with risk - Health system with hospital visits - Music player via mpg123 - Save/load game state - Plugin support – drop a .sh file into /plugins to add new locations, jobs, or mechanics

It runs on any Unix-like system with Bash. No dependencies beyond mpg123 for the music player.
