Moreover, as a +generality among practices, as Dungeon authors, we dislike impositions +on our creative freedoms beyond those of our own imagination and +tastes, especially those such as of a "brand" or "system", or e.g. +copyright holder. + +In December of 2019 some friends who grew up creating and playing in +each others' Dungeons decided to try making an engine for these types +of games using Emacs and Emacs Lisp, org-mode, and maybe some +duct-tape if needed. In this 50 minute talk Corwin and Erik introduce +dungeon-mode, and explain why we decided to do that. We'll sketch out +the project in both lay and technical terms, provide a tactical update +with respect to completing our initial concept, describe how things +are going in human terms, and share some things we've learned so far +from and about Emacs and the free software community working on this +project, while leaving 10-15m for questions and discussion. + + + + +Back to the [[schedule]] + +All times are approximate, and we might shuffle talks around as needed. Please check https://emacsconf.org/2020 a few days before the start of the conference for instructions on how to watch and participate. + +[[!meta title="Welcome To The Dungeon"]] -- cgit v1.2.3
