Hi All. With last version of Playroom client, I'm able to connect from the LAN I work on. This LAN is firewalled and some doors are closed. What is strange is that since this last update it works smoothly and I just wonderf if they changed the doors wich throw server and clients exchange data.

Hi Thomas, Not sure, could be intentional, but could also just be the amount of time and effort or lack of skill the programmer put into writing the command interpreter. I still don't think that it can be all that easy to write a command interpreter that would except all of the ways that

Hi Lisa, I once bought the full 2 box set of all of the Infocom games, so I am sure that I at least gave Planet Fall and Station Fall a quick look. One problem that I had though was the codes that you needed to read off of the instruction pamphlets that came with the games. Of course now I

Hi Lisa, Well, I don't know. I enjoyed writing Dungeon Master and do plan to add more to it, but the thing about a text adventure game is that there is no replay value. And actually not that much fun for me to play the first time. You know, once you know all of the puzzles and all for the

Hi Jim, The command interpreter is actually contained in the Winfrotz program itself. All the z5, z8, and zip files are is data files that instruct the interpreter what items are in the game and where to put them as well as provide text descriptions. I don't recall the Inform syntax exactly, but

Hi Jim, Well, you are right that one problem with many text adventures is there is little replay value after the game is completed. Once you solve all the puzzles there is really nothing to solve or figure out, and it is for that reason I don't play text adventures more than once or twice after
