The ur-game for computers–Adventure–was originally written by Will Crowther in 1975 or 1976 and significantly extended by Don Woods in 1977. I have taken Wood’s original FORTRAN program for Adventure Version 1.0 and recast it in th CWEB idiom so that those pioneering ideas will be accessible to a broader audience.

The Orcmid on GitHub Adv10 Project
Adv10 releases are a personal homage to this amazing and inspiring game and to Donald Knuth’s literate account.
The Adv10 project produces a Clean C version of the original Colossal Cave Text Adventure as a portable command-line implementation built on Microsoft Windows. The game is playable. The open-source implementation of the game is meant to be instructive.
Adv10 is the first-stage project for progressive development of enriched versions, from the command-line to 3D animated versions. The first stage is creating an anatomy and reverse-engineering of the game presented in [Knuth2011: Chapter 27] as a Literate Program [Knuth1992].
