@elazar really nice. I want that for my tolino, so I dont need new hardware. That should be possible I think?
@philipp I'd like to think so, given that the article says that they're planning to release it all as open source at some point.
It sounds to me like the use of cartridges may partly be to limit how powerful the hardware has to be. If so, it should be possible to run the same content/software on equally or more powerful hardware.
@elazar that would be awesome.
@elazar where all 10 fingers were used as bookmarks for your undo stack.
The bad path fork then has you on a 5 page run around before an unavoidable good-game, you had to undo back so far to try again..
@elazar while I would LOVE to read more CYOA - a BLAST from my childhood (I had so many), I wouldn't want yet another eInk platform to do it - any eReader should be able to handle the basic I/O requirements.
