No, not a game, but the original handwritten book. It looks fantastic.
quote: The original handwritten manuscript of what became Alice in Wonderland has been put online using software to virtually turn the pages.
Alice's Adventures Under Ground, by Lewis Carroll, is the latest 3D addition to the British Library's Turning the Pages collection of books.
Using Flash technology, the manuscript can be virtually "handled", while audio is played simultaneously.
The news story link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4268408.stm
The link to the actual book:http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/ttp/ttpbooks.html
Needs broadband and shockwave. There are other books there too, such as the personal notebook of da Vinci. _______________________________________________________________________ Also, there is a very cool app for those with a Gmail account here:

It adds your Gmail account as a drive in My Computer, and anything you put in there automatically gets emailed and stored online. 10MB limit on attachment though.

A goat thanking a llama. I never thought I'd see the day.
Only on fb.net.
I'd walk her everyday, into a shady place

I'm pretty sure I have the original text in one of my several copies of "Alice." It's cool that it's available online, though.
I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied. |
