Hi
I did some work on writing a text based dungeon program. The dungeon file is
purposefully plain text and can be easily edited by kids in Write.

The idea was that kids develop literacy and numeracy skills by creating
dungeons and 'cheating' on existing dungeons.
Playing the game
visualise 2D spaces (could extend to 3D or even 4D)
navigate compass directions N E S W and relationship to right, left
text literacy
can include subject related content
problem solving
Making/editing/reading a dungeon file
all the above plus
Cartesian coordinates
variables
word processing skills
programming like skills
create in any language
The next step is to Sugarise it. The code so far is published. If anybody wants
to take it on thats OK with me.
Tony
