''Hunt the Wumpus'' is an early computer game, based on a simple hide and seek format featuring a mysterious monster (the Wumpus) that lurks deep inside a network of rooms. It was originally a text-based game written in BASIC. It has since been ported to various programming languages and platforms including graphical versions. == Development ==
''Hunt the Wumpus'' was originally written by Gregory Yob in BASIC while attending the Dartmouth campus of the University of Massachusetts in 1972 or 1973. Out of frustration with all the grid-based hunting games he had seen, such as ''Snark,'' ''Mugwump,'' and ''Hurkle,'' Yob decided to create a map-based game.〔(''Hunt the Wumpus'' in ''The Best of Creative Computing, Volume 1'' )〕 ''Hunt the Wumpus'' was first published in the ''People's Computer Company''〔The ''People's Computer Company,'' founded in October 1971, was a small non-profit group of independent educators who met in a small storefront on Menalto Rd. in Menlo Park, California during the 1970s. The first issue of their journal, ''People's Computer Company,'' was published in October 1972.〕 journal Vol. 2 No. 1 in mid-1973, and again in ''Creative Computing'' in its October, 1975, issue. This article was later reprinted in the book ''The Best of Creative Computing, Volume 1''.〔(''The Best of Creative Computing, Volume 1'' )〕 Yob later developed ''Wumpus 2'' and ''Wumpus 3'', which offered more hazards and other cave layouts.〔(''Wumpus 2'' in ''The Best of Creative Computing, Volume 2'' )〕 By the release of Version 6 Unix (1975), the game had been ported to Unix C. An implementation of ''Hunt the Wumpus'' was typically included with MBASIC, Microsoft's BASIC interpreter for CP/M and one of the company's first products. ''Hunt the Wumpus'' was adapted as an early game for the Commodore PET entitled ''Twonky,'' which was distributed in the late 1970s with ''Cursor Magazine.'' A version of the game can still be found as part of the bsdgames package on modern BSD and Linux operating systems, where it is known as "wump." Among the many computers it was ported to is the HP-41C calculator. The 1980 port of the game for the TI-99/4A differs quite a bit from the original while retaining the same concept. It is a graphical rather than text-based game, and uses a regular grid equivalent to a torus rather than an icosahedron. In this version, the Wumpus is depicted as a large red head with a pair of legs growing out of its sides.〔(Hunt the Wumpus - TI-99/4A Screenshots - MobyGames )〕
