One student did a straight-forward text-based adventure, narrative:
Uh oh... Degi's parents have been captured!
Based on the features of this plane, ['setting', 'waxing', 'fall'], Degi will be dropped in map01
Degi needs to get to the portal shrine for E
Degi's path through the plane looks like the map below
(0 = starting point, X = a visited point)
......***A
....***W..
.....*F*..
......*...
~~~~..XXXE
~~~~~XX^..
~~~.XX*^^^
~~XXX**^^^
~.X****V^^
0XX.***..^
Degi has now reached the portal shrine for E
Now Degi needs to challenge the Spirit to a card came...
In this game, two players each draw cards from a pile. Each card has some number of points. After all cards are drawn from the pile, the player with the most points wins.
Shrine Keeper draws a card and scores 13 points
Degi draws a card and scores 11 points
Shrine Keeper draws a card and scores 15 points
Degi draws a card and scores 12 points
Shrine Keeper draws a card and scores 9 points
Degi draws a card and scores 12 points
Spirit's final score is 37 points
Degi's final score is 35 points
Unfortunately, Degi is has lost the card came.
Since the Spirit is bored, he has agreed to play another game with Degi...
Shrine Keeper draws a card and scores 12 points
Degi draws a card and scores 15 points
Shrine Keeper draws a card and scores 14 points
Degi draws a card and scores 14 points
Shrine Keeper draws a card and scores 11 points
Degi draws a card and scores 14 points
Spirit's final score is 37 points
Degi's final score is 43 points
Degi has won the card game and has been granted permission to pass through the portal to plane E
Another student did something with animated ASCII art and separate screens:

To get through you must play game!!!
Me, guard is player 1, you squirrel are lowly player 2

This version is a bit more bare bones than I would have liked but it has all the major pieces:
Somehow I've made it to the shrine of the Fire element, but there is a Spirit!
The spirit is challenging me to a game.
The spirit guardian of the shrine has challenged me to the following game:
[(55, 63), (42, 40), (56, 66), (45, 54), (47, 59)]
[(97, 89), (94, 85), (99, 92), (95, 86), (96, 88)]
[(16, 8), (0, 4), (17, 9), (1, 6), (9, 7)]
[(38, 32), (23, 21), (41, 39), (24, 28), (27, 30)]
[(88, 83), (68, 72), (92, 84), (79, 78), (80, 82)]
Finally I have beaten the Fire Spirit with payoff 99 and can take the portal.
Success! The portal has brought me to the plane I was hoping for - the Water plane!
The sun is now setting, the moon is waning, and the season is fall.
I'm on the Water plane (located at (6, 8)), starting at position (6, 2). I need to find a shrine that holds a portal to another plane so that I can find my parents!
I'll need to use map01 if I am going to find the shrine! It looks like this:
