I wrote a brief text-adventure version of "Waiting for Godot" a while
ago, but never bother to upload it. Essentially, you wander around a
vast, empty plain, and nothing ever happens. Would anybody be interested
in seeing it? I would want to hold back the advencement of literature by
depriving the world of such a masterpiece, provided all you Philistines
felt qualified to understand it.
