I have recently come back to Dinking after having a few months off while learning some REAL programming at Uni (C/C++ mainly. C is OK, but C++ is sooo much better 
). But now that I dont have much to do over the Summer Break, I have decided to muck around with some Dink stuff and start a Dmod project....
I have revived some of the silly ideas that I think might make it more interesting (from an abandoned, cluttered dmod), such as the lettuce pigs, the bread ducks and the meat trees, and a few other cheesy things that might be at least mildly interesting.
However, the rest of the dmod might not go down as well. My dmod is is to called "Binary Quest" , and it is a dmod that I have created that aprt from being midly amusing, entertaining, is meant to be a more interesting way to learn a little about the basics of Computer Science (fairly low-level first year Uni stuff, like how to convert the number 4 into binary - 100.).
I hope that when I start tutoring this sort of thing in a few months, after I do the actual course in it (for the sake of definite credentials), I have a way to make it more interesting for some of the less motivated students to learn the basics.
Do any of you think you might enjoy such a game as long as I dont put anything that requires too much thought in it, and providing I present the material in an interesting fashion?
Note, the dmod is not due for release sometime early 2006, as it will not be a short dmod and intend to put some 'interesting' stuff in there.
