We bounce from game dev brain rewires to interactive fiction teaching war stories, then drop into Daggerheart where a lightning volcano turns exploration into a survival puzzle. We bribe fire cats with fish, steal a power boost from a wounded tree spirit, and learn the hard way that waking a dragon on purpose has consequences. 
• Unity Vector2 and Vector3 as more than coordinates 
• Using vectors for distance, angle, and force in physics 
• Designing a bot opponent with A star pathfinding 
• Why easy mode should make imperfect choices 
• The Shawshank Redemption as a masterclass adaptation 
• Teaching Twine and Inform 7 to humanities students 
• Inform 7 prose rules and world simulation logic 
• Grad school travel budgeting and conference panels 
• Daggerheart exploration at the lightning volcano 
• Fire cats, offerings, and the burning heart tree 
• Siphoning gauntlets and the decision to fight 
• Dragon horde reveals and a brutal solo battle 
I’ll eventually get around to putting more free adventures on Itch.io now that I’m on summer vacation in air quotes 
I also put my Inform 7 text-based game on my Itch.io for free
