You Were Doomed From the Start
| Author: | Jeremy Carey-Dressler | | Genre: | Fantasy>Cave crawl | | Released: | 2001 | | Review: | Only the creator of this trivial programming exercise could explain why he thought it was worth releasing to the public, let alone entering in a competition. It's a small collection of awkwardly-described rooms (the author is highly enamored of periods of ellipsis) in which anything remotely resembling a puzzle is solved automatically, leaving the player with nothing to do but enter the one command - the same command in every room - that toggles the room's one bit of alterable state.
