Thank you.  That was a great set of posts.  I especially liked the reference to Martello Towers.  My childhood was during the BBC Micro era, but I never played Martello Towers.  I managed to download a BBC emulator and the software itself.  This game is very similar in style to another one from the same time period called the 'L' Game (which can be bought to use on the PC from the Association Teachers of Mathematics).

I have had a brief look at AGS.  Does it come with possibilities so that one can program it using scripting language?  For example, can one add in some kind of interactive puzzles into it?

I am also looking at 3d engines.

Hi.  I am a maths teacher, but am currently studying for an MSc in IT.  I am currently writing a big dissertation on "What makes a good piece of educational maths software" where I am making a maths computer adventure game.

I know Adventure Game Studio provides a free game engine.  Is this the best one or are there any alternatives?

Many thanks.
