Coding is a Text Adventure

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the whole-new-levels-of-addiction dept.

Wired News is running a story about a new approach to crossover working and gaming turning your coding into a MUD-style adventure. Playsh is a "narrative-driven 'object navigation' client, operating primarily on the semantic level, casting your hacking environment as a high-level, shell-based, social prototyping laboratory, a playground for recombinant network toys." Great, now they are combining two of the most horrible addictions in my life.

      D4mn. I did *not* intend to link to the article through Digg. Here's how it happened. I had Digg open at the same time as Slashdot, went to my Diig profile, grabbed the link, then came back here and quickly slapped the post together. (Note: First post.) By the time I realized what happened, it was too late.

      Mea culpa. And yes, I feel the (current) -1 Offtopic is deserved.

      The 17 game and UX references are still useful, despite my faux pas.

    Talking about text adventures, coding GWing.net has been an extraordinary text adventure... then again, that's the whole point. (We're making an animation out of the users' forum-based text adventures... =D)
