[lojban] Lojban/Interactive Fiction panel at Penguicon?

[Matt Arnold <matt.mattarn@gmail.com>]

Hey jbopre,

I managed to persuade Andrew Plotkin to attend Penguicon. He is one of
the foremost contemporary authors of Interactive Fiction, AKA "text
adventures". For more information, please see
http://www.brasslantern.org/beginners/ and http://ifdb.tads.org/
Andrew is giving a talk about programming language design,
specifically the Inform 7 programming language that is a subset of
English used as source code for Interactive Fiction.

I'm trying to come up with new ideas for panel discussions he can be a
part of. And then I realized, since we have so many Lojbanists
attending Penguicon this year, what if there is a topic that the
Lojban community and Interactive Fiction programmers have in common?
Like parsers. I myself don't know enough to flesh out the concept. Any
other overlap topics? Do you have any help to offer?

-Matt
