Create Your Own Choose Your Own Adventure
Here's another web experiment:
http://stevenf.com/adventure/
It's like a choose-your-own-adventure book, although you get to add options and write the next page.
I hope it works. I wrote it very quickly. Let me know how it goes.

"Room" is a loosely-used term. You could actually create an action that doesn't move the player, like "Drink a beer". Then the new "room" would conceptually be the same as the old room.
That's also the problem with back-linking. You might be "undo-ing" something rather than just moving the player.
It'll be interesting to see what limitations like this are found, and how they might be overcome. That is -- if people keep building...

I actually just did that with the Meadow.

No errors. Firefox. I tried loading the page that should link to it in IE, and it still showed no link. I've tried refreshing several times. I wrote another one, which didn't show up either, and came back to check the first one, and it's still not there. I'm guessing the operation must have gone through, because the page is on the site. But why is the link not appearing? WHY?

Well my second one has appeared. Do I have to resubmit my first one, or can you manually link it up? [WHICH WAS IT? Did you see?]

No, which was a design decision I was worried about at first. But now I'm curious to see how it plays out.
I could see making a fancier version of this where you could also create objects to be placed in rooms, and then certain rooms being locked unless you have a certain object. But that's quite a bit more work, because then you have to start keeping track of the character's state on the server side, etc.
It's not, you know, terribly hard to do, but I figured, start simply and see where it goes.
