February 2, 2010


A BoardGameGeek user named Tor has posted a nifty computer version of Delve the Dice Game (which I reviewed in a January 24th posting). It's still a work in progress, but it's worth a look for anyone who has played and enjoyed the board version. Tor says that he'll be fleshing it out in coming days.

I do find it a bit comical that, within days, several users posted messages challenging the programmer on everything from the functionality of various parts of the interface to his choice of the programming language. A guy in Norway writes a freeware program in his spare time that is based upon a freely-offered board game designed by a American gamer during his spare time -- yet the "community" still feels entitled to complain. More evidence of two things I already knew: (1) gamers love to complain and (2) we live in a rich world.
