I offered you to write on text adventures and interactive fiction for last issue, but you ignored my post
Interested?
Btw, will you try to fix the code boxes somehow? I suggested scrollable textboxes, that way you don't get layout screwing with long lines.

Absolutely! Sorry I missed your post before. But definitely -- if you want to write it, by all means, do it! I'm sure a lot of people will be interested to read it.

Yep, I saw your earlier post on this. That's a very good idea... I'll look into it before the next issue.

Okay, then I'll write the articles. This is somewhat long, so I guess I'll have to split it in chapters. For the first one, I'll begin explaining how a proper IF engine is organized.

Everything works fine for me. Your problem might be that you had a comma at the end of the domain name for my site -- "petesqbsite.com," instead of "petesqbsite.com"
Try
