I'm reminded of the dialogue box presented by the Analytical Engine in the awesome graphic novel, "The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage" by Sydney Padua:
*Annulation Lever Activated - do you wish to continue? Engage STOP lever to continue. Engage CONTINUE lever to stop."
- duskwuff 5y agoI was actually referencing a sequence of dialogs in the classic video game Scarab of Ra: • "Do you really want a hint?" • "You really should try to solve this on your own. Still want a hint?" • "Wouldn't it be more fun to figure it out by yourself?" • "Last chance to be a hero. Still want that hint?" (The game is playable online at: https://archive.org/details/ScarabOfRaMacintosh https://archive.org/details/ScarabOfRaMacintosh, or using https://mace.software/scarab-of-ra/ https://mace.software/scarab-of-ra/ on modern MacOS -- you can trigger these dialogs by picking any item from the "Hints" menu.)
