So, since you all obviously can’t wait anymore with my unbearable suspense, here’s my concept:<\/p>\n

It’s actually a quite popular game, which consists in starting at a random page on Wikipedia, and trying to reach a certain goal page in the smallest number of internal links possible.<\/p>\n

Now with shotguns.<\/p>\n

The idea is to use each Wikipedia page as a level for an action platformer, where the links are the exits. With lots of baddies on the way. And of course, the goal is to find Duke Nukem Forever’s page.<\/p>\n

\"Platforms

Platforms and ladders... Random level generation ain't that easy...<\/p><\/div>\n

As you can see I’m far from done.<\/p>\n

Oh\u00a0 and of course, Wikipedia -> text -> console based game. Now that I spent most of my time coding my curses libs, it’d be a shame not to use it…<\/p>\n
