Hi. Back in the 80's, various gamebook magazines published small adventuresl, --- using the ff system.
thanks to fandom, and a chap called outspaced (you might have come across his work on ffproject, or pproject.aon), these are all available in accessible text pdf, rather than horrible scanned image file pdfs. so go, grab and enjoy. http://outspaced.fightingfantasy.org/ Seeing these and other text gamebooks does make me wonder if some programming type person could write some sort of utility to make searching and playing these much easieer than having to resort to ctrl F in whatever program your viewing the files with. Perhaps something that would automatically search for all the numbers in the text, ---- eg, section 1, and would create a list box used to jump betwene them? (links would be cool of course, but not possible I think in a generic text file reading program). how the program could distinguish betwene section numbers and statistics for characters and enemies I'm not sure, unless someone physically could mark up the text file to tell it which numbers to ignore, ---- probably easier than telling it which numbers to mark. It could also contain with a property sheet outside the text file for recording character information. Anyway, I'm not a programmer, it was just a thought. All the best, Dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
