Thanks for the summary, I think you got my point!

there is a mailing list running for that project:

Doug, feel free to correct me

Terry, I think that to have two different "projects" running at the same time,

since it will help to see the "generic" pattern of the adventures games.

Would you happen to have a link to the Light Princess story ??
