mdb ::wumpus

26 Sep 2005

I originally posted this at http://bdgregg.blogspot.com/2005/09/mdb-wumpus-ive-added-another-program.html.

I've added another program to my "specials" page - a site of, erm, quite special software indeed.

It's a loadable module for the Solaris Modular Debugger command. It provides a new dmcd "::wumpus". A screenshot should say all,

# mdb

INSTRUCTIONS (Y-N)

HUNT THE WUMPUS

I SMELL A WUMPUS!
BATS NEARBY!
YOU ARE IN ROOM 17
TUNNELS LEAD TO 7 16 18      

SHOOT OR MOVE (S-M)
?

It uses the code from ESR's classic wumpus clone. (I checked with him to make sure he didn't mind wumpus being ported to such an unusual place).

If you haven't seen "Hunt the Wumpus" before, it's a classic text game originally written in BASIC.
