They already have a break statement to get out of loops of arbitrary depth. http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.break.php And why, except perhaps for the hack value, would you simulate a state machine in PHP? GOTOs are good wh

The genre almost died at the end of the 90's, in part due to the lack of commercial success for Grim Fandango. There were a few franchises that survived, like the Broken Sword and Runaway sagas, and a few more games by other studios. Then T

In the same vein, I remember seeing online the storyboard of the game, where each puzzles were detailed, but I can't find it anymore. It's very instructive for would-be game designers.

The SCUMM engine (aka Spu(TM) or SPUTM) is a VM, and the game is fully scripted using the SCUMM language. You cannot use runtimes not officially supported by Apple in iPhone apps. There is an iPhone port of ScummVM, but you'll need to jailb

It would be quite a trump! I'm sure it could be amended to remove that impression, but I don't have the time to look into that now.

Some of the R authors (including Ross Ihaka, one of the R founders) had a similar project, but the home page seems half deserted (the mailman link leads to a 404), and, looking at the waaayback machine, it didn't get a lot of traction (~20

Catchy title. Wake me up when the first clinical trials show some positive results. Myriads of wonderdrugs for mice have sadly been found to be ineffective in humans. That said, if it works for us, I'll be among the first to try it, as soon
