Anyone like to test/comment on a preliminary port of Gargoyle? http://spacehopper.org/tmp/gargoyle.tgz
Various game data files are downloadable at ifarchive.org and other places. backends tested so far (only briefly) - Glulxe. Frotz. (plays the Infocom games). Hugo. Agility. Magnetic. Tads 2. Tads 3. Alan 2 and 3 fail (at least on amd64), and the license status of those backends is not entirely clear, but don't let that stop you testing while I ponder it. :-) $ pkg_info gargoyle Information for inst:gargoyle-20081225 Comment: cross-platform interactive fiction player Description: Gargoyle is an IF player that supports all the major interactive fiction formats. Most interactive fiction is distributed as portable game files. These portable game files come in many formats. In the past, you used to have to download a separate player (interpreter) for each format of IF you wanted to play. Gargoyle is based on the standard interpreters for the formats it supports: Agility, Alan 2 and 3, Frotz (glk port), Glulxe, Hugo, Level 9, Magnetic, Scare, Tads 2 and 3. Gargoyle cares about typography! In this computer age of typographical poverty, where horrible fonts, dazzling colors, and inadequate white space is God, Gargoyle dares to rebel! * Subpixel font rendering for LCD screens. * Unhinted anti-aliased fonts: beautiful, the way they were designed. * Adjustable gamma correction: tune the rendering for your screen. * Floating point text layout for even spacing. * Kerning for even more even spacing. * Smart quotes and other punctuation formatting. * Ligatures for 'fi' and 'fl'. * Plenty o' margins. * Plenty o' line spacing. * Integrated scrollback.
