vivdunstan: Art work for the IF Archive including traditional text adventure tropes like a map, lamp, compass, key, rope, books a skull, and a sigh referring to grues (interactive fiction)
After being offline for years, the play transcript of the ClubFloyd folks playing through my interactive fiction / text adventure game Napier’s Cache is back online. I loved seeing how the players tackled my game. This game was inspired by a true story in my family history, involving mathematician John Napier. It was so much fun to write.

Crikey just found this in the British Newspaper Archive. The Southern Reporter, 1988 June 30. That's me on the left. I do not remember that photo being taken.

Dropping off back to much needed sleep, and of course my brain chooses now to torment me with questions about the tuck shop I helped run at Hawick High School in the mid 1980s. It was run out of a small store room / cupboard along the sciences corridor. And my brain now wants to remember if we jammed a table across inside the door to sell from, with the boxes of goods and money behind. And what was the money box like - I do have a memory of that one. But honestly, brain go away 😜

I shared this on Facebook too, so if any of my school friends can remember more about the tuck shop than me who was running it I might fill in some gaps! It was a great way to build up mental arithmetic skills ...
