I thought it was great!, May 1, 2012

by CharlietheSpiffy

I saw this game and the tittle interested me because I am a patrol leader in boyscouts and have participated in the klondike derby.

In the game you have to try and cheat to win events at the klondike derby( A scouting event in which patrols compete to see who has the best scout skills). I found the game very accurate.

I only took one star off because of some spelling mistakes I noticed.

A Scout is Code Review Worthy, Dash! May 14, 2012

Dash Slapney: Patrol Leader was a Speed-IF experiment. My main goal was to rig the patrol scores for some sort of fake drama and throw in a bunch of other silly jokes.

After seeing the game played through, I decided to add some user-friendliness and also change the endings based on which events you solve.

I thought some people might find the source code interesting because of the gadgets I used to randomize the patrol scores, and maybe it'll inspire some random vaguely similar mechanic in someone else's work.

I enjoyed touching the source code up, and if someone is on the fence about sharing it, I recommend you do--it helped me check off things to touch up. I'm also interested in comments about how I can organize things better.

Games with accurate (present or historical) settings by Emily Short
I'm looking for works in the general spirit of The Fire Tower or 1893: they can be puzzly or not, have a story or not, but they should attempt to represent a real-world setting as accurately as possible, and in some detail.

Great game sequels by Teaspoon
Whilst writing a review of "All Alone", Joey Jones's sequel to his game "If I Wasn't Shy", I became curious - how many examples of sequels are there in IF? Preferably good ones.
