Interactive Fiction: Two room puzzle
I’m going to be showing some students how to create interactive fiction with Inform 7. The first task for them will be to replicate this two room puzzle:

The wheel turns again
Which wheel? The Sonic Cycle wheel, of course. I will not be suckered again (you know I will) after the disappointment that was Sonic 4. And Sonic Colours. And two versions of Sonic Generations. I think that word pretty much … Continue reading
