  abstract =     "A number of factors contribute to the difficulty of
                 learning computer programming, and by examining some of
                 these factors we can hope to design an environment that
                 is more conducive to the learning process. I analyse
                 some of these problems and find that one possible
                 solution is to embed the educational content into a
                 fantasy adventure game. Designing an educational game
                 is, however, fraught with difficulties beyond those
                 normally associated with writing such a program, as
                 there are conflicts between educational and
                 entertainment goals. Described are a few of these
                 conflicts from the early stages of my project, and the
                 compromises that they have engendered.",
