Here is my original design document. https://docs.google.com/View?docID=3D0AU67XOwv6HW7ZGc1d2JtandfMTJmam12Y20&r= evision=3D_latest The key to LojbanQuest is the grammar test, which is battle mode. The treasure chest game is how you get new words to fill up your ammo, and it's how the users anonymously score each other's work, and fill up the BPFK corpus while their at it. The spaced-repetition algorithm vocabulary game will be a farming game, which was not in my original vision of LojbanQuest but which I think works really well with it. It died because the first version was built into a MOO that was a pain in the ass to access, The website that you linked to seems to be timonator's implementation of it as a web-based simple-to-access version, which greatly encourages me. It has been very slow going. Now that I learned Javascript and am in the middle of learning PHP and MySQL, I may be able to finally contribute to making LojbanQuest a reality with something other than just game design. -Eppcott P.S. To show you how my skills are coming along, I'm in the middle of programming a web-based version of the dice game Alien Frontiers. http://cis.hfcc.net/~marnold3/alienfrontiersweb/AlienFrontiers.php On Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 10:14 AM, Luke Bergen wrote= : > That actually sounds pretty cool. =A0I had had a similar idea but it seem= s > it's already a project. =A0Is this project currently dead? > > On Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 10:09 AM, Michael Turniansky > wrote: >> >> =A0Yeah, well whatever happened to lojbanquest? >> http://jbobac.lojban.org/lojban/lojbanquest/ >> >> On Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 12:13 AM, Lindar wrote= : >> > Yeah, you'd have to have played a game like it.
