DNS text adventure

Players issue DNS queries as game actions and read story text in the answers; round-robin responses can add chance to the adventure.

Craig Mayhew’s game uses DNS queries as player actions and DNS answers as game text. Round-robin DNS also supplies chance-based outcomes.

It is a clear example of DNS as an interaction loop: query, receive state, choose the next query.
