Thursday’s Classes
It’s been said before, but it will be said again. If all goes well, most of you will have the option to sign up for equivalent lab times.
For those who haven’t finished their proficiency tests, you will be doing that in class tomorrow. You will take them, turn them in and you will continue to do that until you pass. Honestly, if you aren’t finished tomorrow, you are officially very far behind.
Very far…
Bowling
Hey all:
I’m putting together an informal group of folks who like to bowl. As my MIN kids will tell you, I think it’s important to get together outside of school to socialize and have fun.
It’s by no means a requirement — dude, it’s bowling — but if you’re interested, shoot me a note or post a reply here. I’ll add you to the list. I think we’ll try to get together once or twice a month.
I will send out a note — and if you’re free, join us…if not, no worries. Significant others are always welcome.

Adrift Alternative
From Eric Hancock
Hey Brad, I just wanted bring this to your attention. For anyone else in MIN 252 looking to push their game a little further, Inform 7 is a fantastic alternative to Adrift.
It’s fairly non-technical, a bit more time-consuming than Adrift, but much, much more can be done with it. I’ll be using it mostly because of its “menu” capability–so that I can make conversation in my game more two-sided and realistic. (For instance, instead of being limited to “ask about _____, and tell about _____,” the player will have a few options of dialouge to choose from. This is critical to building the satire/humor theme in my game.)
In addition, they have a build for any Mac user. Here’s the link:
And if you have the time, check out the “extensions” under download to see just how much you can do with Inform 7.
