# An Org-Mode based text adventure game for learning the basics of Emacs, inside Emacs, written in Emacs Lisp

I am experimenting with using org-mode as a HyperCard-like text
adventure game engine. In this talk, I am going to demonstrate a text
adventure game for learning the basics of Emacs. Through solving
puzzles and programming your companion robot, Emi, you will learn how
to use the built-in Emacs help system, the mechanic of emacs
customization and the basics of programming Emacs Lisp. I believe this
game is ideal as a light-hearted complement to the `C-h t` tutorial.
