 This is a "choose your adventure" game (in French) designed for teaching kids how to learn.
+This is a "choose your adventure" game (in French) designed for teaching kids how to learn. It used to be sold commercially but the editor does not sell it anymore. The version I got has a message encouraging free redistribution replacing the license file (both in the documentation and in the app itself).
 Some of the adventures were initially published as books by schoolchildren, and adapted into electronic versions here.
 I remember playing this at school as a kid, and recently I decided to take a closer look at how it works. Maybe I will get as far as rewriting an engine for it so the games can be played on modern systems?
+== General look
+This is a DOS application. A quick look at the ASCII strings in the executable tells us that it was compiled with Borland Turbo C++, and the user interface looks like it is based on Turbo Vision.
+The engine loads each game from a separate directory with a set of .DAT files. Hopefully these contain the complete game logic.
