One of the courses I’m managing this summer is on making computer games. It was proposed by one of the tutors I work with but as he is new to this I am checking out game creation systems. One of these is a text adventure creation system called Quest that looks quite simple. I’ve spent the past two days learning the basics and this is my adaption of the tutorial game:

The big advantage of the system is that it can be created and played online as well as offline so there’s an immediate reward for learners and no problems installing on the old youth and adult ed computers at the centre we will be using.
