I’ve been playing around on Wave a bit recently, and found this cool bot called Bard Bot. It lets you play text-based RPG games thought Google Wave, thought simple blips such as /north /south /look etc. There are about 20 games already available for it, but no description of the games that you can choose – although one is The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy
(I’m a massive fan of that book!)
I think this is one of the coolest things I’ve seen on Wave, apart from the Declaration Of Independence Waves. What I’d like to see is using it for a group play – e.g people taking it in turns to make the character take an action (There’s no multiplayer feature yet).
This is a really good example of stuff that can be done with Wave, especially bots and gadgets. Maybe you could use the voting gadget with this to decide what to do next?
