Hmmm, where is the site for that?I always liked Baf's guide sinse it had the reviews and easy sorting methods. Does the If db cover all of the contents of the previous sites?

The Interactive Fiction database seems to be the replacement for both the IfArchive and Baff’s Guide. New games are added to it daily, and reviews are added for even games found on Baff’s guide.On Oct 11, 2014, at 11:57 AM, Josh Kennedy <[email protected]> wrote:also I looked at examples of inform6 versus inform7 and inform6 is more like well sort of like python in a way.On 10/11/2014 2:59 AM, dark wrote:Hi Waine.There are literally thousands of interactive fiction games because new ones are being written all the time. that was why I suggested http://www.microheaven.com/IFGuide/IFGuide.pl?step=6&c=0 because it gives some ideas for games and some good descriptions of ones to try for beginning if players.You can find lots of stuff on the interactive fiction archive, http://www.ifarchive.org/, however there the games don't have reviews or any information about them so your best off checking somewhere, reading descriptions and reviews and going from there.I usually use a site called baf's guide to the interactive fiction archive to look for games sinse they have individual pages for each game with links to reviews and solutions, but they seem to be down at the moment which is annoying.All the best, Dark.

There are no specific guides to interactive fiction for blind/vi users, however there are several general if guides, and sinse If is inherently accessible anyway as all your doing is reading on screen text and responding, that shouldn't be a problem.In terms of software, all you need is an interpreter and the game files.Interactive fiction games are like music files and you play them in an interpreter program just like you'd use Winamp, Windows media player, itunes, Vlc player or whatever to play your music files.For what interpreter you need, that depends firstly on what format of gameyour looking at playing, and secondly what screen reader you have. somepeople find the Filfre interpreter helpful, (I don't have the address on me but there is a page for it on audiogmaes.net), which can run Zcode or Glulks format games, I personally prefer win frotz and win glulks as I said, again, all of these have audiogames.net database entries so go and check there formore information.Once you have the file and the interpreter, it's just a question of reading the text and responding with what you type into the interpreter. interactivefiction are basically interactive stories that repsond to commands intruncated sentences, so the commands are realtively easy, stuff like getsword, light lantern, directions such as north and south etc. For a general guide see http://www.microheaven.com/IFGuide/IFGuide.pl?step=6&c=0 for instance. The site is a little dated but it explains all about what interactive fiction is, and how to play it, though as I said for interpreters you probably will want to investigate some alternatives. Sorry if this is a little scatty, I am not in a very awake state at themoment due to sleeping badly last night, if you have any other questionsplease ask. Hth. Dark.
