Foobar the Barbarian

October 15, 2003

A simple adventure game, Foobar the Barbarian, is the first game I’ve seen written for the Laszlo Presentation Server.

It’s a neat idea to have the game-play driven from a simple XML file. I can imagine lots of creative folks who could write the “story” for a game, but who couldn’t (or wouldn’t want to) write the logic. I could imagine having doorways or transporters into other people’s worlds by allowing an url to load another dataset.
