[Asterisk-Users] z-machine + asterisk = fun!

I was tinkering with Asterisk and the Festival text-to-speech engine, and
wrote some short Asterisk::AGI scripts to read back live weather reports.
After that, I thought I needed something more interactive to work with...

Then I had a flashback to 1996, first year university, standing in the C
& O club at the University of Waterloo, where someone had just pulled out
their US Robotics Palm Pilot and started up Zork. A couple of hours
later, after a quick trip to the campus computer store, I was playing
Zork in the palm of my hand!

Now Zork is back! Listen as the eerie voice of Festival takes you into
the Underground Empire, and marvel as you explore this world with your
dial pad, unlocking the secrets within!

Note that some more commands need to be implemented before you can
actually -enter- the underground empire. For now you can just futz around
on the surface. See $dtmf_translation in
Asterisk/Games/Zork/ZIO_Asterisk.pm for number-to-phrase translations.

I've posted the proof-of-concept at http://uc.org/read/Zasterisk

Feedback is welcomed ;-)

Cheers,
