I though of taking is a step further and either<br><br>Writing a Zork Activity for the olpd , I'm sure however has the <br>rights to the old zork adventure would be up for donating the Z-Code<br>to the project.<br><br>That would either be a sugar interface to the C program.<br>or Convert the C frotz, or Java Interpreter to Native Python<br>(which is a lot more work) , but be a lot more olpc friendly.<br><br>I can see peoples dismay about porting such game apps as doom,<br>hyper violent game , but I used to play zork as a kid and<br><br> it was fun<br> I used my imagination, to picture scenes, the computer did not do all the work.<br> It improved my typing skils (without knowing it)<br> it improved my spelling accuracy<br> it taught me what a nous and verb was!! heheh<br><br> there were some problem solving, and lateral thinking.<br><br>oh did I say it was fun!!<br><br>anyone who's wants to help. Also I'd like to formally put a development
<br>request in for an olpc laptop to do the porting. <br><br>Kris, I got frotz into Dumb made, so it's just taking stdin and stdout,<br>so linking it should be no problem now?<br><br>Cheers,<br>Lee<br><br><b><i>Kris Davidson <davidson.kris@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Lee was talking to me on IRC about creating a Python IRC bot wrapper<br>for Zork to allow collaborative play in a channel.<br><br>I'm still learning Python; Its on my big and ever expanding list of<br>things I need to do and learn.
