The idea of automatic game/scenario game creation intrigues me.

If anyone remembers the game/program Adventure Construction Set by Stuart Smith (mid 80's), you could make games with sub-areas within the game. There was also an option to have the computer finish making the game for you (or make the whole thing). The scenarios frequently didn't make sense as to the storyline, but it was fun exploring the zones and fighting the monsters.

I once read that soap operas could be written with a program...sort of like a mad lib type thing...blanks could basically be filled in, and plots could be chosen or randomized to make stories.

Seems to me like something like this would be really cool, and a way to generate new Spidweb type games to play while we are waiting for another release! What do you think?

1) What is the key for the outer Gazak-Uss?

2) What does the building with 4 locked doors in Shath's waste for?

3) What is the second form of a Drakon?

Does anybody have or know where there might be some annotated maps for geneforge?
