Adventure
I have been playing William Crowther’s Colossal Cave Adventure with my children.
We have found these actions useful:
- north
- south
- east
- west
- ne
- se
- nw
- sw
- up
- down
- building
- climb
- downstream
- drop
- enter
- forest
- info
- inventory
- pour
- save
- score
- take
- throw
We also found a technique which allows us to script Adventure when running the program from a graphical terminal. Since Adventure responds to commands entered on standard in, we can paste a series of commands into Adventure. For example, the following scripts work as described when executed immediately after starting Adventure:
Such scripting is confounded by rooms with randomized passages, so you should proceed through passages like these manually.
We have been using Graphviz to record the adventures we have had. I share here our map in two formats: .dot .svg The map also appears below.
