- Mod_daniel 16y agoI actually played Hunt the Wumpus on my dads Kaypro2 when I was a kid. Grand Theft Wumpus might be the funniest thing I read this week. With Lisp + Graphs? Solid. I wonder if more of No Starch's offerings are this cool.
- Jach 16y agoAwesome, I was beginning to wonder if this book would really come out or not. It's back on my Amazon wish list!
- anthonyb 16y agoInteresting - I wrote pretty much exactly the same code for chapter 2 of Hello Python, except I build a tree first (by adding each cave in sequence at a random point) and then add some random two-way connections, rather than trying to find islands later. http://manning.com/briggs/ http://manning.com/briggs/ if you're interested in checking it out. I follow a similar route - teach programming by jumping in on something cool (eg. a game) and explain things as you go.
- aufreak3 16y agoThe "what you've learned" at the end of this chapter made me chuckle :) It says you learnt about `loop`, `intersection`, `set-difference` and `remove-duplicates`. (PS: It'll be nice if HN formats back-ticks as code.)
