Hi Tom.
I take your point regarding Inform, but after all inform was never meant to
be used to create rpgs and their objects in the first place. You wouldn't
find a class to create a multiple headed monster rather than a generic
animal because in most inform games even if the game's writer wan
Hi Tom.
I'm actually surprised that there aren't more tactical text rpgs for this
reason, sinse while I know interactive fiction traditionalists have a real
downer on rpg mechanics, I'm surprised other people haven't done more.

Hi Dark,
Okay, I get where you are coming from, and I need to clarify a few
things here. By Inform I mean the Inform 7 language itself not Glulx.
Yes, I know basically Glulx is an updated and extended version of
Inform, but when I say Inform I mean Inform not Glulx. So with that in

Hi Dark,
Me too. I don't think it is possible to write a text game these days
that would challenge today's RAM, hard drive space, or CPU too much.
Text games are the most simple to write, and don't have any of the
hardware requirements of video games, or even audio games for that
matter.
In any c
aving different sounds or
background music play for events, but certainly the mechanics are there.

The Inform 7 modules he created are still freely available and some other

Personally, I would choose Python. Any full blown programming language
is better for a roll playing game than most interactive fiction
languages which are designed for puzzle type play than any kind of

Glulx is pretty much it's own language, if you want to play games in

Hi
The programming for those games is perfectly doable. Adrift is a bit less so
than the others, but that’s because it does use a visual GUI to design the
game. Tads, Glulx, etc all use programming languages, and they are perfectly
easy to write for us.
Best,
Zack.

Hi,
Right. There aren't that many interactive games that are stand alone.
Most require an interpreter. I'm personally glad for one very big
reason. In most cases interactive fiction games are completely cross

I do have your mail address so if you like I can upload something via mediafire.
