[lojban] The Original Vision For LojbanQuest

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

I'm glad someone brought up the version of LojbanQuest which I first
came up with. Here is my original design document.

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.

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.
