asterisk users - Apr 2009 - want to set up text based "adventure" for asterisk

Anyone know where I could find a good beginning for using asterisk and the
text based game "adventure" together such that I could play from the
nearest
phone?

Thanks,

Eric

You would just use festival/Cepstral combined with Read and an AGI to take
options and speak the result back.  As long as you had a reasonably finite
number of possible outcomes, you could even do this just from a dialplan
without AGI.

A good place to start is here: 

http://www.venturevoip.com/news.php?rssid=1513 

FreePBX includes a module called 'Zoip' which allows you to play Zork
via a Text-to-speech engine.

Why on Earth someone would want to do so is beyond me but hey... why not. :-)

google on collossal cave.
honestly its the absolute worst unreadable mess of code ever conceived 
by man or beast.

that said I made a web version of it that actually works
here is where you start - hack the "only semi unreadable" portion for 
save and load games so it does not cost you points to save and load.
then make a script that does this :
start game, load game, inject next command to game, trap output of that 
"move", save game again

every time the user does a command, run the script and then show/speak 
them the output.

yes its a kludge of the Nth order but at the end of the day it works, 
and you didn't even have to understand the garbage code that drives the 
thing.


let me know how it goes.

Heh... I wrote a MUD once (still online, but..)

Key 1 to get the long sword.
Key 2 to go north.
Key 4 to go west.

You have been eaten by a grue...

Hm. Maybe a bit slow!
