I have this sort of obsession with tiny games. I think they're called MMUC (Mass-Market Ultra Casual) now. The first one I saw was Dungeon*, and then some others, like Oasis, and so on.

I like trying to design them. I think I'm going to start writing these designs up. That way, even if I lose motivation before I finish (which is a problem I'm working on), they'll still be out there, maybe someone can revive them.

So, here's one. Cassie and I came up with it during an IM conversation.

Incidentally, there's this program called VoodooPad for the Mac, which is a personal wiki. You edit documents like a word processor, but they're little wikis, which is a more logical layout for things I write than a text file.

Anyway, one of the more clever features in this is that it can turn its files into websites, and then proceed to publish them through WebDAV, just by clicking the "sync" button. So I set up a WebDAV directory on Dreamhost and I'm doing that now. Just removing barriers between me having an idea and putting it where people can read it.

*The original Dungeon was from the 5k web contest, and long dead, although I still have a copy somewhere. It won't work on anything newer than IE 4 though, so I am forced to link to myself, rather than give credit to Fake, who originally made it.
