Sure. I will take over. I will apply many of the ideas to the other
scripts also. Since many of these example are going to be sharing code
I am going to give a try at making my own init.scm script.

I think I will just ask them for their name. I suppose if a university
or school teacher wanted to track student progress (d-GetUserName)
would probably be preferred. Would (d-GetUserName) get user name from
environment variable? It can be used to track users progress in a
scoreboard or some other system... Perhaps a line graph of progress
over time.

Thanks for all your help in creating this game and providing
excellent example of what can be done with the code.
