Synopsis:
Losing Your Grip, a Journey in Five Fits.
Remember the days of Infocom text-adventure games? Ever wonder, "Does anyone still make those games?" Yes, they do. _Losing Your Grip_ is a piece of interactive fiction (aka a text adventure) written using TADS, the Text Adventure Development System, by Michael J. Roberts. If you have played text adventures before, you shouldn't have any problems with _Losing Your Grip_. It will understand commands like: look go west (can be abbreviated as "w") open drawer unlock door with key open it (would refer to the door above) pour liquid on umbrella type "foo" on keyboard If you haven't played such games before, you would do well to read grip.doc for information. Some shorthand commands that might be useful are: x - examine l - look i - inventory (list everything you are carrying) g - again (redo last command) z - wait (do nothing for one minute) n, w, s, e, nw, sw, se, ne, u, d - move in different directions For more information, please type "about" while playing _Losing Your Grip_ or visit my web page at http://www.phy.duke.edu/~sgranade/lyg.html Stephen
