Very nice. I gave a lab assignment like this once! It's a great way to learn Prolog.

There's even a book "Adventure in Prolog" by Dennis Merritt (ISBN 1520918917)

It's a lot of fun to work through, other prolog resources can be a little dry

If you wrote an adventure game in Prolog, you could write a client that would also solve the adventure.

Cool! I got stuck trying to figure out how to turn on the flashlight and then got stuck in the woods and died.

Yes! that one!. I have a paper copy, so it didn't occur to me that there would be an online version

When I was in school I had to do some stuff with prolog. I got my wife interested enough that she added some rooms and items to a game like this. Good times!

I have never heard of Prolog before so this was cool. I did think the "make sure the flashlight is turned on" point was kind of confusing. I have the battery and flashlight, but there's no way to turn it on. I couldn't run it with gprolog but swipl works fine.

Going to tell the Preface story tomorrow at work, I guess if your reading this you now know my HN handle ;) Not sure I will do the 'game' but that into was worth clicking the link.
