I got a copy of Creating Adventure Games on Your Computer in the mail yesterday. 

Very fun! I set up a moodle class for the project. It seems like a good way to do such a thing.

http://crackrabbit.com/moodle/

I realize that I am probably not anyone's idea of a programming howto
writer, but hey! I had the space and it looks like a lot of fun. 

Code snippets will go under the WikiWiki and may be linked to from
anywhere. Moodle is pretty neat, despite being written in PHP
(WackaWacka).

Anyway, sign up if you like the idea and I'll give you instructor ops.

Thanks!

I don't get it.
What's the password?
starts with a?
password.startswith('a') == True?

Can you private e-mail me the password so I can see this?


 Thanks!

Whoops, the password is 'ascii'. :-)

Guess I could just take that off, couldn't I? On 9/29/06, Luke Paireepinart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 I just ran into the following link; it's a tutorial on writing
 adventure games (circa 1983):

http://www.atariarchives.org/adventure

 Would anyone be interested in porting the examples over from BASIC to 
 Python?  It might make a fun project for us here on Tutor; a few of us 
 appear to have been exposed to Basic in our past lives... *grin* Any 
 takers?

 Hi Pete,

 Unfortunately, not to my knowledge: there may be people on the list who've 
 done this privately though.  I'll CCing tutor@python.org to see if anyone 
 else has looked at this.  Personally, I haven't had the time because of 
 grad school committments.

I have done a simple conversion of a similar BASIC text adventure.
By following the layout of the BASIC code, I got a working, but very
un-pythonic program :)  If the mood strikes me someday, I would like
to go back and pythonicise it.

Alan

I might attempt to do this eventually.  Maybe during the winter break.
That is, if I can take a break from the Wii!
Teh Calculus 2 among other things are consuming quite a bit of my time 
at the moment,
so I probably couldn't start on it this semester,
but if I get around to working on this at all I'll shoot you an e-mail.

Thanks for the link!
