	Gregory Yob - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gregory Yob is an American computer game designer.
		Yob lived in Palo Alto, California, where he came across logic games on a mainframe computer named Hurkle, Snark, and Mugwump.
		Each of these games was based on a 10 x 10 grid, and Yob recognized that a puzzle game on a computer could have a far more complex structure.

	Butchers Hill
		This month I was asked to write about a remarkable pair of Butchers Hill neighbors, mentor Denise Yob, who lives on South Chester Street, and Gregory Hall, her "mentee," a 14 year old ninth grader at Patterson High, also a Butchers Hill resident.
		She is especially appreciative of Gregory's extraordinary curiosity about people, places and the arts - all combined with the usual adolescent qualities of being serious, silly, compassionate and sometimes unfocused.
		Gregory has developed a love for opera and looks for opportunities to attend performances.

		Yob wrote it in reaction to existing hide-and-seek games such as Hurkle, Mugwump, and Snark.
		Unlike Crowther, Daglow and Yob, the Zork team recognized the potential to move these games to the new personal computers, and they founded text adventure publisher Infocom in 1979.
		Early game designers like Crowther, Daglow and Yob would find the computer code for their games -- which they had never thought to copyright -- published in books and magazines, with their names removed from the listing.

	Continuous Paper: ISEA
		Gregory Yob, who resided in Palo Alto, California, wrote of how he came to program a famous early BASIC game, Hunt the Wumpus: "[In 1973] I happened by People's Computer Company (PCC) and saw some of their computer games such as Hurkle, Snark, and Mugwump.
		Yob wrote that about a month after writing the game, "I went to the Synergy conference at Stanford, where many of the far-out folk were gathered to share their visions of improving the world.
		Yob's Hunt the Wumpus took the next step, showing that locations in a game world could be hooked up in more or less arbitrary ways.

		In 1972, while Mike Mayfield was plugging away on Star Trek, Gregory Yob began work on what was to become another legendary game.
		While on a trip out to California, Gregory happened by the PCC offices and was able to take a look at several of the maze games they had available.
		Gregory had written the game in BASIC on a timesharing system in only 50 lines of code.

		Most of what was available on the mainframes of the time were recreations of existing card or board games, simple demonstrations of mathematical or computational principles, or hide-and-seek games where the player tried to locate an object in a two-dimensional grid.
		Yob imagined a game taking place on the edges of a dodecahedron, giving it twenty rooms, with each connecting to three others.
		With the Gregory Yobs of today producing unique games such as Katamari Damacy, Wario Ware, and the upcoming Spore, it's a bit too early to say that creative game design is dead -- just as it was too early three decades ago when there seemed to be nothing but grids.

	Hunt the Wumpus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, firing the arrow into the wrong chamber would startle the Wumpus, which might then devour the player.
		Originally written by Gregory Yob in BASIC while attending the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and noticed on mainframes at least by 1972, Hunt the Wumpus was first published in the magazine "People's Computer Company" in 1973, again in 1975 in "Creative Computing", and finally in 1980 in the book "Basic Computer Games".
		Building on several "grid" based games of the "Battleship" variety, Yob injected adversarial humor into the computer's hints, prefiguring the "voice" of the Infocom narrator.

		Of course, the game was all text, which makes it hard for most of my students to believe that anyone would possibly have enjoyed playing it.
		I just made e-mail contact with Gregory H. Coresun, who is identified in several places on usenet as the former Gregory Yob.
		He says he's working on wumpus.com, which he hopes will be the definitive site for all things wumpus.

		The first adventure games to appear were text adventures (later called interactive fiction), which typically use a verb-noun parser to interact with the user.
		These evolved from early mainframe titles like Hunt the Wumpus (Gregory Yob) and Adventure (Crowther and Woods) into commercial games which were playable on personal computers, such as Infocom's widely popular Zork series.
		In recent years, a vibrant and creative community of interactive fiction authors has thrived on the internet.

		This topology, used in the game "Hunt the Wumpus" (or simply "Wumpus") was introduced to the world in the early 1970’s by Gregory Yob and the People’s Computer Company.
		Within the game the network of nodes is a cave of interconnected rooms in which a hunter must find and shoot the Wumpus, a mythical creature which apparently just wants to be left alone.
		Yob was disillusioned with games that were played on a grid and so created one that was played using his "favorite Platonic solid" (Ahl, 1979).

		Now it's only a relic (although some graphical versions try to keep it fresh), but, when invented by Gregory Yob in 1972, it was revolutionary (read this article where Yob says how surprisingly he noticed its game had become popular).

		Wumpus hunting became a popular sport in 1972 when Gregory Yob developed a game called Hunt the Wumpus— the first computer game written for a microprocessor.
		In 1980, the sport was described in Basic Computer Games by David H. Ahl, and Wumpus hunting became all the rage.
