This is not what you're looking for, I'm sure, as it's way too simple but...

I also found a text-based game called Camel in the Euphoria archives. Follow the link to the archive on the front page of rapideuphoria.com and search for Camel.

I always wanted to make a Rogue-like game in Euphoria but never got very far with it.

And if you REALLY want a challenge, get Will Crowther's original Adventure game source code, and rewrite it to work on Euphoria! http://jerz.setonhill.edu/if/crowther/
Here's an on-line version (no guarantees as to authenticity) http://www.ifiction.org/games/play.phpz
Here's a map of the 350-point version, might use this instead of trying to reverse-engineer the fortran source code and cave map! http://www.firthworks.com/roger/downloads/advent.pdf

Hi

Ooh, how about a euphoria wumpus hunt!

Since speed isn't an issue, lowest token count only.

Wumpus. I haven't seen or heard of that in a looong time

Do you want the one with multiple caves or just the original?

I don't know, someone else should do the specs

If judging could be done automatically by Jeremy's judging program, then even he could enter (trouble for me at least!)
