Obvious Simplicity  |  19

---

Furthermore, from an educational point of view, this simple adven‐

ture game can be modified in all sorts of interesting and obvious

ways by learners: adding objects to the world, creating puzzles,

adding more advanced commands and so on. In fact, there are

opportunities for cross-curricular work with other disciplines. Play‐

ing such a game is a form of interactive fiction—perhaps the English

department could help the students come up with more than just

the bare-bones descriptions of the original?
