Interactive fiction.
This has been my main hobby for the past couple of years.
A work of I.F. is like a literate computer game: a story,
typically told in second person, in which the player
provides input that affects how the story unfolds.
I believe that this genre has enormous possibilities
that people have barely begun to explore.
Unfortunately, the world of I.F. is still
unfriendly to beginners at this stage.
You can get some idea of what the genre is about
by looking at
A
Beginner's Guide to Interactive Fiction and
The
World of Interactive Fiction.
For my part,
I have written a couple of
short games, as well as
a review of the game VOID: CORPORATION
from the 2000 I.F. Competition.
