Colossal Cue Adventure: a Zork-style text-based programming adventure game

Return to Zork, the first graphical non-text based Zork, is the most memorable computer game I've ever played. It was the first time I saw computer graphics so beautiful in such a haunting mysterious world. Sometimes I still have dreams about it, and occasionally during world travels I'll see something that reminds me, "oh I was at a place that looked just like this before... in Zork!"<p>RTZ was even better than Myst, its cultural successor.<p>I realized, a few months ago, that Rebecca Snoot from RTZ is Rayanne Graff from My So-Called Life. WHAT? Yes, it's true.<p>You are in front of a white house...<p>Pick up rock, throw it at vulture...<p>Remember to dig up the bonding plant -- if you cut it, you won't be able to get into the comedy club by the cliffs of desperation later on.<p>Want some rye? Course ya do!<p>It's now been 20 years since that game came out. Woah. Two decades. 1993. It's still vividly seared into my mind.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to_Zork" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to_Zork</a><p>If you can find an ISO of it, it'll run in DOSBox, I believe. Beware, though, that you need the encyclopedia that comes with the box -- awesome primitive copy protection.<p>Great game, good times. Any other RTZ nostalgites here?

We figured this would be good for some Friday fun! Admittedly, a few of the problems are solvable by hand, and we wish there were more jokes about gnus, but overall we just hope you enjoy playing as much as we enjoyed building it.

Very nice! I like the RNG puzzle you started off with. This reminds me of the Python Challenge, but inspired more by HAKMEM than by exercising random Python library code.<p>A couple of minor issues I tripped over due to experience with other text adventures:<p>- Consider adding the standard text adventure shortcut commands: "x" or "examine" for "look at", and "i" for "inventory".<p>- I found it surprising that "look at inventory_item" didn't work. "look at boat" or "look at vest", for instance.<p>- How about "help command" for each command listed in the "help" output?

<i></i>HINTS<i></i><p><i></i>First puzzle:<i></i> You might think you have to do an exhaustive search of all possible seeds for the random number generator, but it turns out they've made it easy for you. The initial seed is at one extreme end of the possible range....<p><i></i>Second puzzle:<i></i> Just create a stack, and walk through the string pushing and popping as you go.<p>By the way, I'm sure there's a mistake in there. I got the answer x (and I checked it by hand) but it only accepts the answer x - 1.<p><i></i>Third puzzle:<i></i> My approach used dynamic programming algorithms. If you're unfamiliar with this technique, you'll probably want to find a different way to solve it.<p>First, I used dynamic programming to find all routes of the form (north|east)+ (i.e. all routes in which the rabbit only goes north and east). That didn't work, but it was clear that the rabbit could only double back on itself a limited number of times, so I extended my code to find all routes of the form (north|east)+((south|west)+(north|east)+)<i>

&#62; They fail to reach consensus on what it means to `pwd` a pig, then as one, they fall silent.<p>Clearly this version doesn't have pig paths.

That was a nice diversion for a Friday afternoon - thanks. I finished the bonus round, but didn't find any pig jokes or easter eggs.

Good game! I enjoyed the first puzzle most, mainly because the second was a pain to write and I didn't think to allow backtracking in the second. I'm stuck, though, on the bonus puzzle; Is there a hint I'm missing? Brute-force doesn't seem a sensible answer.

Here is the puzzle-solving code that I wrote as I played: <a href="https://gist.github.com/4571643" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/4571643</a>. It’s written in Ruby 1.9. You can check it out if you’re stuck or just curious.

It is a pretty neat game. I have no idea what MTH$RANDOM is.Can you suggest some links where could i look it up?
