Annotation of 42BSD/games/ddl/sample/READ_ME, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1:    Caveat Ludor (or something like that).
                      2: 
                      3:    The sample DDL dungeon in this directory cannot even remotely
                      4: be considered a complete scenario.  At every turn, there are
                      5: pointless areas of terrain, objects with no use, and verbs that
                      6: don't work.  The scenario is intended primarily to demonstrate
                      7: (originally to TEST) some of the things that can be done in DDL,
                      8: and some of the features of the system, like fuses and DWIMming.
                      9:    This is not to discourage play; there are one or two very
                     10: nice stunts in the scenario.  Some ideas for extending the
                     11: scenario are in sample.ideas.  The prospective DDL programmer
                     12: is encouraged to examine the DDL sources for this scenario,
                     13: and initially experiment with adding stunts and scenery to 
                     14: its many dead-ends, rather than attempting to create an entire
                     15: original world from scratch.  DDL's purpose is to allow
                     16: people's ingenious ideas to be conveniently realized.  
                     17: New scenarios, or additions to this sample, should be sent
                     18: electronically to ucla-vax!mike (via UCB's uucp hookup) or
                     19: mike@ucla-security (via the Arpanet).
