Zorking Out

I'm doing it. After watching hours of old salts and super gurus talk about the early - lucrative - days of IntFiction, I'm playing Zork. I tried it once a long time ago, well before I had messed around with IF engines and building my own engine and game. At that time I had no idea what I was doing. I'm pretty sure I didn't even get to the forest, just wandered around the house getting angry. Now that I am more familiar with IF it is much easier to get things done.

I can see why Zork was so popular, not just for being groundbreaking, but because it is so well done. I'm already taking away inspiration that will improve Escape Apsis.

Another take away from my video watching:
Addressing my cross platform goal for WorldWeaver. So I am embarking on the VERY painful task of porting the WorldWeaver client to Android. Considering it took a bunch internet searches to figure out how to vertical align TextBox text, I foresee many Android rant articles in my future.
