Question about CHAPTER TWO of Twisty...

Answer the following question posited by the instructor: WHAT THE HELL IS HE TALKING ABOUT???

How is Interactive Fiction related to riddles? Interactive Fiction is set up so that the program gives you a chunk of information, as you would get from a riddler, from which you must deduce the proper response. UNLIKE a riddle, from the little that I know of riddles, with an IF work, you get to try a bunch of different responses. With a riddle you have ONE SPECIFIC ANSWER that you are trying to find. But with an IF work, the answer is NEVER only one specific word, but a series of responses that might include moving in directions, finding specific items, or fighting with creatures or other characters.
