• Release 2: <square name> command and decent graphics
  September 01, 2021 by Andrew Schultz#chess, #interactive fiction, #text adventure, #new feature

  One major bit of user-friendliness that I missed in Fivebyfivia was that it might be tough to move around or remember directions, even though there were 3 possibilities. ESS, SSE and SES, for example... Continue reading

  August 10, 2021 by Andrew Schultz#bugfixes, #graphics, #python

  Two things I hoped to do for the Fivebyfivia re-release were to make better cover art and also write a better guide. While the guide was technically correct (the best kind of correct, of course, as Fu... Continue reading
