About the Story

A challenge to go through all 48 US states without hitting any one twice!

Well, actually, A playfic.com project exploring relations in Inform 7. The source is visible, so people can see how to create and define relations e.g. bordering, almost-bordering, skip-bordering (A and B don't border each other but border C.) Also, I tried to add a few other bells and whistles. Hopefully people will enjoy stealing the code or coding ideas. But not the game. Mrs. Crabtree would be disappointed in you!

My nine-year-old had a blast with this, August 2, 2017

I recently showed this game to my nine-year-old son. He had a lot of fun with it, spending a couple of hours playing it over a few nights. He even went so far as to ask me to print out some maps of the U.S. so that he could practice finding routes from state to state.

Overall, my son really enjoyed the game, and it increased his knowledge of U.S. geography. A win.

I wouldn't really call this "interactive fiction," although it is parser-based. It's more of a text-based mini-game. Thus I don't feel I should give it a star rating.

Geography minigame, September 20, 2024
by Lance Cirone (Backwater, Vermont)

This is a short minigame where you can start in any of the contiguous United States, and can go to any bordering states, but only once. You have to find an optimal path across the entire US that doesn't cross any state twice. The presentation of the classroom and some of the warning messages you get being shown in-universe is cool, too. I think this game will definitely be easier for some people than others, as I had to think about it for a bit, but it's smooth to play and I had fun with it.

Microparsers by Tabitha
The discussion in this thread, from which I've borrowed the term "microparser" (thanks Pinkunz!), led me to want to collect small parser games. I'm thinking of ones that fit what's described in the thread--generally taking less than 30...

One City or State or Country per Room by Andrew Schultz
I'm interested in works where you have one city or state or country (or city-state) per room. David Welbourn noted that this may apply to a significant sub-area of a work, too, and in this case I'd like to allow Greg Boettcher's Nothing...
