MathBrush, June 18, 2016 - Reply "MEIN COMP Eric Mayer continues on at tedious length about Comp 2001 (Part 3 of 4) Note: This material can be found online at the Trotting Krips web site: http://joltcountry.dreamhost.com/trottingkrips/ik2k1- ericm.html Jason Love sounds like a pseudonym and if I'd entered NEWCOMER I'd be in hiding too. I don't mean the game is exactly disgraceful but, so far as I can see it is a joke, and a real groaner. Or maybe a comment on lack of interactivity? What can I say without giving the game away? Well, if you've "played" Beal Street there's one form of utterly minimal interactivity. Newcomer offers a somewhat different form. Mind you, it appears to be much more. There are some nicely drawn locations. I'm not sure what to make of it, to be honest. It is one solution to what to do with that practice file, with all the locations, that you decide you don't feel like turning into an actual game because how many moves does it take to make a bunch of static locations into a game. Oops. I'd better shut up now." There was one other person who considered the idea that the game was entered as an intentionally bad piece, but they did not use the word 'joke' explicitly. |
