I don't think I have honestly posted much but here goes.
I am a person who is teaching himself java first and foremost. I wanted to, as my first goal, create an adventure game. However, I am pretty bad at writing stuff hehe. Then I remembered you guys here and what you are doing.
What I want to do is take the content and system of the Lone Wolf series of books and create a Stand Alone Java application that basically turns the books into an RPG (text based of course, I am no artist)
It would be a not for profit project, and I would love to have them hosted here for Download of course.
My question is this: Is this allowed under the current PA License? Things like Page Numbers would be hidden from view, with only the choices being presented. I remember there being a few number puzzles and thats not hard to do, as in the Code Itself the page / section numbers would be preserved. Also I would not combine any sections as I feel that keeps the pace well (breaking things up into managable chunks).
My overall goal would be to start with Book 1, and then after a player finishes it, to allow them to IMPORT that character from the first game into the next, thus allowing a person to basically play thru all the books using this system.
I gotta of course teach myself Java first, but its always nice to have a goal to strive for! Since the only book I actually own is Book 2 (an original!) I would have to use the PA stuff here for the text (so I would need permission there as well)
So is this doable?
