Lojban Adventure - volunteer wanted

[Bob LeChevalier-Logical Language Group <lojbab@lojban.org>]

A long time ago Nick Nicholas translated the classic Adventure game
(colossal cave) text into Lojban, but modifying the program to take Lojban
commands was never completed.

I've been contacted by someone in the Interactive Fiction community who
would like to see us complete the game as an example of language teaching
using interactive fiction, totally independent of its obvious value in
actually helping people learn Lojban.  He has suggested that rather than
fiddling with archaic programs, that we use one of the modern tools for
interactive fiction.  Anyone interested can see rec.games.int-fiction
(there is an FAQ), and he suggested Inform in particular


http://www.gnelson.demon.co.uk/inform.html

and 


ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/infocom/compilers/inform6/

as places to start.

Anyone interested who has seriously checked out what it will take to
complete the job and test it, given that all the text of the classic data
file is translated, but the commands would have to be modified as well as
perhaps some small amounts of text that were hard-coded in the original
program, can contact me.

This is not a small job - the text file is around 100K of Lojban, and may
need some fiddling with to fit the current file models - which look like
they are based on C code.
