Ready, Player One?
Use one of the computers to play Zork. You may work with a partner if you want to. Take turns typing in commands. But first, let's get some context for this 1980's computer game hit: Tapping into the Origins of Zork. Here's a pop culture reference from the Big Bang Theory.
Use the handout tips to help you adventure. Play Zork.
When you are done with that, play an interactive fiction game to see how it works:
- Zork (text based game)
- Adventure (text based game)
- Jigsaw (text based game)
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (text based game)
- Various Infocom online games
Go to our Google Classroom and see some student examples of text-based games. You will be creating your OWN text based game next class.
BRAINSTORMING/PREPARATION: Come up with your own idea for a story. See the basic story starter handout for help in fleshing out your idea. If you are creating a fantasy setting, check this link out for help and tips creating your own fantasy world.
HOMEWORK: None. If you are missing any homework/projects, please complete these assignments before the end of the marking period, Nov. 2. No work will be accepted for a grade after Friday's class (Nov. 2). We will have a quarter quiz on Chapters 1-3 on Wednesday. More details to follow.
