LiveScribe Games

FAO: autopope, who last year was hoping that the LiveScribe pen wouldn't break his self-imposed embargo on buying new computers, because it wasn't actually a computer. I assert that if you can play Zork on it, it's a computer.

Apparently you can play Zork on a Kindle, a typewriter or a fridge. So I am not completely convinced.

Apparently z-code was invented in/before 1981 on a TRS-80 so it can't require much processing power.

What I am amazed at is the text recognition in the live scribe pen. I must be missing something.


But this means it can run the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy adventure game too!

Hmmm, I wonder if there is a tea-machine which can run z-code games....

So I knocked up Tic-Tac-Toe in half an afternoon, knowing nothing about the Pen hardware or Java. Pah! In my world it can take that long to get a output statement correct.
