Cave Story Edited


  Cave Story is a weird little computer adventure.  It is a role playing game, I guess and it is, as I said, weird.

  The children were enthralled with it a few years ago, to the point that they memorized most of the dialogue.

 In addition to the story being fun, they discovered that there is an editor which allows users to create new levels and change existing levels.

 The last couple of weeks, we've seen a resurgence of interest in editing Cave Story.  Lydia is messing around with it here.

  It requires diligence and study because there isn't a manual.  Mostly, users just have to look at the code and figure out what code does what thing.  It is complicated.  It is fun.  And yes, it is educational.
