Description

I am experimenting with using org-mode as a HyperCard-like text adventure game engine. In this talk, I am going to demonstrate a text adventure game for learning the basics of Emacs. Through solving puzzles and programming your companion robot, Emi, you will learn how to use the built-in Emacs help system, the mechanic of emacs customization and the basics of programming Emacs Lisp. I believe this game is ideal as a light-hearted complement to the C-h t tutorial.
