I worked on my challenge for a short time while watching a movie, The Prince of Persia. I thought it was fitting to be working on an Apple II game while watching a movie inspired by iconic Apple II game.
It’s funny, I have looked at the code for Eamon several times over the years, but never tried creating one of the games. I was going to create a large game, but having started reading the documentation, I decided to start with a smaller game of just a few rooms to get a feel for the system and then move on to the larger game.
What I have learned so far is that the system is designed for the adventures to be created after careful planning. That’s the reason I switched down to a smaller adventure to start. I can plan and work on a smaller adventure to learn as I plan the larger adventure for the finish. Additionally I can discuss features of Eamon used in the smaller game without giving away surprises from the larger game.
