I’ve just created a new release of Sand-dancer for Dialog.
It’s is playable on the web and can also be downloaded separately.
Source code is on GitHub:
This is a re-implementation of Aaron Reed’s Sand-dancer game in Dialog, the subject of his excellent book Creating Interactive Fiction with Inform7.
This is a medium sized project, coming in at about 5K lines of code, compiling to 210K of z-machine bytecode.
