Colossal Cave Adventure 2.1.0

You find yourself lost in a complex network of passages, all appearing identical. The legendary Colossal Cave lies nearby, rumored to hold untold treasures and mysteries that have captivated many, while some who dared to venture inside were never seen again, fueling stories of magic within.

This game is a 430-point version of the pioneering text-based adventure that laid the foundation for the genre.

While not the earliest of its kind, this game broke new ground and served as a source of inspiration for countless players and developers alike.

Here are some iconic lines from the game to evoke nostalgic memories and spark your curiosity:

• You find yourself in a sprawling maze of indistinguishable passages.
• "MAGIC WORD XYZZY"
• A disembodied voice whispers "PLUGH".
• A diminutive dwarf emerges from around a corner, hurls an axe in your direction (mercifully missing), curses, and scurries off.
• FEE FIE FOE FOO
• Rubbing the electric lamp proves uneventful. No surprises await.
• A colossal green serpent blocks your path!

This rendition is a faithful interpretation of Don Woods' 430-point expansion to William Crowther's original Colossal Cave Adventure, preserving the essence of the classic experience.

Screen Appearance

------------------------------------

You have the option to adjust the text size displayed on the screen. Utilize the preferences to select from small, medium (default), large, or extra-large sizes.

Text to Speech

------------------------------------

If you possess a Text-to-Speech library on Android 1.6+ with at least one English-speaking locale installed, you can have the game narrated aloud. While its practicality may be debatable, it adds an intriguing layer to gameplay.

The game includes warnings for sound output upon launch if enabled, ensuring discretion in quiet environments like work meetings or libraries.

You can toggle these settings and select your preferred locale under Preferences.

Voice Recognition

------------------------------------

If your device supports voice recognition technology, you can now verbally communicate with the game.

Upon speaking a command, the engine will propose a list of interpreted words for your selection to facilitate accurate input.

Customize voice recognition behavior via Preferences:

• Enable or disable voice recognition.
• Instruct it to auto-select the best match for your command.
• Select to view up to 5 potential matches for your spoken input.
• Select to view up to 10 potential matches for your spoken input.

Though there is a learning curve in effectively communicating with the system, advancements in voice recognition technology promise improved interactions over time.

Note that certain commands, such as magic words, may not be conducive to voice input.

In scenarios where commands lack clear differentiation in their initial characters, a built-in translator assists. For instance, saying "Northeast" will be translated to "ne" for clarity. Any missed translations can be reported for future updates.
