I have a feeling I did have a Glulx file, although it was probably a bit ugly/confusing -- but I&#039;ve had a laptop crash since last year and now I don&#039;t seem to have source code or files... so I have a feeling Floyd&#039;s out on this one.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi, Jon.  A Colder Light was put on a list of 2012 games that I was pulling from to create a ClubFloyd playlist, and the list I was using claimed that there was a Glulx version, but there&#039;s not, right?  And won&#039;t be?  Sounds as if this isn&#039;t something Floyd could play and that I should just encourage people to play it on their own prior to the Xyzzy-nomination period (the Xyzzies are why we&#039;re churning through 2012 stuff right now...).  Thanks, - Jacqueline]]></description>

With Google Chrome, the interface works (selection scrolls, End return button works). Exploration and repeat play is revealing. (I&#039;m going to be absorbed with ifcomp next month so this is the end of the flood).

Wait / ... / i do / evade / Blame no-one
“That damned machine, Harris; it’s made from spare parts and string. Even these huts leak when it rains. It wouldn’t take more than one fellow to trip over a cable to shake out a component and have it roll away across the floor. Have you tried looking under the thing?”

		<description><![CDATA[Entertaining. I liked the choices. More than one ending? I will try again tomorrow.

Wait / Co-operate
&quot;This is an unseemly situation, it would be appear.&quot;
- it would appear.
/ Take it
&quot;He picks his own up and just holds it. &quot;
- Suggestion: He picks up his own...
/ Evade / Evade / &quot;I&#039;m Fine&quot; / Evade
&quot;The conclusions had been obvious to all four of us immediately, but had gone undiscussed,&quot;
- &quot;had gone undiscussed&quot; Unnatural sounding IMO.
&quot;And drunk our tea and watched each other. &quot;
- And drunk [the] tea. &quot;Drank&quot; is British English?
/ &quot;I know nothing&quot;
&quot;“This is time of war,” Harris answers.&quot;
- This is a time of war,
/ Put the cup down / Evade / That&#039;s not it / Disagree / Tell him / Yes
&quot;He replies, “I can see how that must have been attractive to you,” with such plain-spokeness I almost have to ask him to repeat it.&quot;
- Suggestion: &quot;with such plain-spokeness&quot; with such nonchalance
/ Yes
Harris answers. “I know you didn’t sign up for it but, well. There’s plenty of other men who didn’t who are serving now, too. Now, go on with your confession.” 
- &quot;There&#039;s plenty of other men&quot; = There is plenty of other _men_. But it is a possible mistake in speech.
&quot;“There’s not much else to say. I took the part from Bombe computing device.&quot;
- from the Bombe computing device.
/ Tell the truth
&quot;I thought you would have me locked up: I couldn’t bear the thought of it. I love working here.&quot;
- would have locked me up? Suggestion: I thought you would lock me up:
/ Lie
&quot;It would have been idiocy to do differently.&quot;
- do differently? Suggestion: irrational to do otherwise
/ Answer back / Make your peace
&quot; You seem very calm &#124; You should try to escape!&quot;
- Relax &#124; Run away!
/ You seem very calm / The door is opening
&quot;Our little computation here is complete.&quot;
- Suggestion: Our little game... hmm &quot;calculation&quot; would go with the calculating engine metaphor in the next paragraph. &quot;Computation&quot; doesn&#039;t suggest contention.
&quot;our victories and tragedies,&quot;
- Suggestion: triumphs and tragedies OR victories and defeats.
/ No
&quot;he hustles me out of the door&quot;
- American English, you can drop &quot;of&quot; as some previous sentences did.

Clicking the up arrow next to &quot;End&quot; has no effect. The Start Again link works.
The display does not scroll after selecting a choice (manual scrolling was necessary).
